CRISPR/Cas9-mediated nexilin deficiency interferes with cardiac contractile function in zebrafish in vivo
19 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Nexilin (NEXN) plays a crucial role in stabilizing the sarcomeric Z-disk of striated muscle fibers and, when mutated, leads to dilated cardiomyopathy in humans. Due to its early neonatal lethality in mice, the detailed impact of the constitutive homozygous NEXN knockout on heart and skeletal muscle morphology and function is insufficiently investigated. Here, we characterized a constitutive homozygous...
