Myomesin-1 (encoded by MYOM1 gene) is expressed in almost all cross-striated muscles, whose family (together with myomesin-2 and myomesin-3) helps to cross-link adjacent myosin to form the M-line in myofibrils. However, little is known about its biological function, causal relationship and mechanisms underlying the MYOM1-related myopathies (especially in the heart). Regrettably, there is no MYMO1 knockout model...
