Biochem/physiol Actions
Mutations in ACTA1 (actin, α1) is known to cause thin filament myopathy, such as nemaline myopathy, congenital myopathy, actin myopathy, intranuclear rod myopathy, cap myopathy and core myopathy. Upregulation of the gene is observed in orthotopic liver transplantation without any earlier evidence of autoimmune liver disease. The encoded protein actin forms a network of filaments and is responsible for the shape of the cell. It provides cellular strength and promotes active movement of the cell.
