Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for TAFAZZIN(NM_000116.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a protein that is expressed at high levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. A long form and a short form of each of these isoforms is produced; the short form lacks a hydrophobic leader sequence and may exist as a cytoplasmic protein rather than being membrane-bound. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described but the full-length nature of all these transcripts is not known. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- Mutations in the Xq28 gene G4.5 lead to dilated cardiomyopathy associated with ultrastructural changes in mitochodria of heart, liver and skeletal muscle.
- one splice variant of TAZ most likely represents the only physiologically important mRNA, at least with regard to cardiolipin metabolism
- human TAZ has a role in mitochondrial dysfunction in Barth syndrome
- Motif, critical for the glycerolphosphate acyltransferase family, was observed in human tafazzin. The presence of a mutation in this region in Barth syndrome patients indicates that this motif is essential for tafazzin function.
- Data show that the tafazzin 1 interactome defined here provides novel insight into the variable respiratory defects and morphological abnormalities observed in mitochondria of BTHS patients.
