Expression pattern of the small muscle protein, X-linked (smpx) gene during zebrafish embryonic and larval developmental stages.

Abstract excerpt

The small muscle protein, X-linked (SMPX) gene encodes a cytoskeleton-associated protein, highly expressed in both cardiac and skeletal muscles, as well as in fetal inner ears, with suggested roles as mechanotransductor. Recently, several mutations in the SMPX gene have been associated with X-chromosomal progressive deafness in human. However, very little information is known concerning the roles of SMPX, and no...
