IF proteins are cytoskeletal proteins that confer resistance to mechanical stress and are encoded by a dispersed multigene family. This protein has been found to form a linkage between desmin, which is a subunit of the IF network, and the extracellular matrix, and provides an important structural support in muscle. Two alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Type-VI intermediate filament (IF) which plays an important cytoskeletal role within the muscle cell cytoskeleton. It forms heteropolymeric IFs with desmin and/or vimentin, and via its interaction with cytoskeletal proteins alpha-dystrobrevin, dystrophin, talin-1, utrophin and vinculin, is able to link these heteropolymeric IFs to adherens-type junctions, such as to the costameres, neuromuscular junctions, and myotendinous junctions within striated muscle cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11353857, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16777071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18028034}. |Filament| |fast-twitch skeletal muscle fiber contraction| |neurofilament cytoskeleton| |voluntary skeletal muscle contraction| |twitch skeletal muscle contraction| |intermediate filament binding| |vinculin binding| |costamere| |skeletal muscle contraction| |musculoskeletal movement| |multicellular organismal movement| |structural constituent of muscle| |intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization| |intermediate filament-based process| |adherens junction| |sarcolemma| |structural constituent of cytoskeleton| |striated muscle contraction| |intermediate filament| |muscle contraction| |muscle system process| |cytoskeleton organization| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp281|Disulfiram 4.3μM R06 exp281]]|-1.79| |[[:results:exp18|Doxycycline 10μM R00 exp18]]|1.72| |[[:results:exp28|Pimelic-diphenylamide-106 5μM R00 exp28]]|1.75| |[[:results:exp27|Pimelic-diphenylamide-106 0.5μM R00 exp27]]|2| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
