What does Myotonin protein kinase do?
What does Myotonin protein kinase do? The DMPK gene provides instructions for making a protein called myotonic dystrophy protein kinase. This protein appears to play an important role in muscle, heart, and brain cells. The protein may be involved in communication within cells. Is myotonic dystrophy gain of function? Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a complex, dominantly inherited, multisystem disorder and the archetypal example of an RNA gain-of-function disease. What protein is affected by myotonic dystrophy? The protein produced from the CNBP gene is found primarily in the heart and in skeletal muscles, where it helps regulate the function of other...
