Funded Activity Summary

Muscle force is provided by a specific structure within the muscle cell termed the sarcomere. Sarcomeres are the engine-room of muscle cells, that act as complex cellular machines to controls muscle contraction. Many muscle degenerative disorders are caused by defects within the sarcomeres, but how this occurs is not well understood. This grant examines how one such muscle waiting disease, or myopathy, results from mutations in a gene encoding a component of the sarcomere called Myo18b.
