CMYA5 Proteins and Enzymes

CMYA5 was originally identified as the muscle-specific partner of dysbindin, (a component of the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 (BLOC-1)), and as a Mef-2 target gene. CMYA5 interacts with desmin, and this association is important for the proper perinuclear localization of CMYA5 and potentially facilitates lysosome biogenesis and/or positioning. CMYA5 may also be a muscle-specific protein kinase A-anchoring protein that is dysregulated in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
