Involved in several processes, including regulation of myoblast differentiation; regulation of myoblast proliferation; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within regulation of skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in M band; cytoskeleton; and sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in heart; myotome; skeletal muscle; and somite. Used to study nemaline myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nemaline myopathy 9. Orthologous to human KLHL41 (kelch like family member 41). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
