| Technology Name (St. Jude Reference #) |
Ozz, A Protein That Regulates Development and Function of Muscle Cells (SJ-99-0010) |
| Description | Ozz is a muscle-specific adapter protein of an E3 ligase complex that ubiquitinates ß-catenin and may target ß-catenin and MyHCemb for degradation during myogenesis. Deregulation of Ozz activity in developing and/or differentiating muscle fibers may influence cellular homeostasis and in turn result in heart or skeletal muscle myopathies. The Ozz gene overlaps with the transcriptional unit of the protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) gene, which is mutated in the human lysosomal disease galactosialidosis. It is possible that a mutation in the PPCA gene may affect expression of Ozz. |
