Overview
desmin a class-III intermediate filaments found in muscle cells. In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Cytoskeletal protein
Cellular Component: type III intermediate filament; intermediate filament; fascia adherens; cytosol; Z disc; neuromuscular junction; sarcolemma
Molecular Function: protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; cytoskeletal protein binding
Biological Process: muscle contraction; cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; regulation of heart contraction; muscle filament sliding
