General description

Myocardial zonula adherens protein, also known as GRINL1A upstream protein (Gup), and encoded by the gene name MYZAP or MYOZAP, is a 54 kDa highly conserved cardiac protein. It is strongly expressed in the heart and lung and is a novel component of intercalated disc. MYOZAP interacts with myosin phosphatase–RhoA interacting protein (MRIP) and acts as an activator of Rhodependent SRF signaling. Knockdown study in zebrafish results in cardiomyopathy with severe dysfunction. The MYOZAP gene is part of a complex transcript unit that includes the gene for glutamate receptor, ionotropic, Nmethyl D-aspartate-like 1A (GRINL1A). Transcription of this gene occurs at an upstream promoter, with two different groups of alternatively spliced variants: Gup for GRINL1A upstream transcripts and Gcom for GRINL1A combined transcripts.
