Mybpc1 - myosin binding protein C, slow-type

Predicted to enable myosin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eyelid epithelium; hindlimb; reproductive system; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 1B and lethal congenital contracture syndrome 4. Orthologous to human MYBPC1 (myosin binding protein C1).
