| Synonyms | MURC |
| Function | Modulates the morphology of formed caveolae in cardiomyocytes, but is not required for caveolar formation. Facilitates the recruitment of MAPK1/3 to caveolae within cardiomyocytes and regulates alpha-1 adrenergic receptor-induced hypertrophic responses in cardiomyocytes through MAPK1/3 activation. Contributes to proper membrane localization and stabilization of caveolin-3 (CAV3) in cardiomyocytes (By similarity). Induces RHOA activation and activates NPPA transcription and myofibrillar organization through the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway (PubMed:18332105). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Membrane, caveola. Cell membrane. Note=In cardiomyocytes, accumulates in the Z-line of the sarcomere. In vascular smooth muscle cells, detected diffusely throughout the cytoplasm. Localizes in the caveolae in a caveolin-dependent manner. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0} |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
