Summary: Acts upstream of or within several processes, including muscle attachment; skeletal myofibril assembly; and vasculogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including cloacal chamber; immature eye; nervous system; neural keel; and otic vesicle. Used to study muscular dystrophy and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type B1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human FKRP (fukutin related protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

FKRP-dependent glycosylation of fibronectin regulates muscle pathology in muscular dystrophy.
Title: FKRP-dependent glycosylation of fibronectin regulates muscle pathology in muscular dystrophy.
Fkrp plays an early and essential role in muscle, myotendinous junction, and neuromuscular junction development. The data also indicate that, at least in the zebrafish model, FKRP-associated dystroglycanopathy does not exactly phenocopy dystroglycan deficiency.
Title: NAD+ improves neuromuscular development in a zebrafish model of FKRP-associated dystroglycanopathy.
Fukutin and FKRP have functions that affect ocular development in zebrafish independently of dystroglycan.
Title: Abnormal vascular development in zebrafish models for fukutin and FKRP deficiency.
Muscle pathology in embryos lacking Fukutin or FKRP is different from loss of dystroglycan; knockdown of Fukutin or FKRP leads to a notochord defect and a perturbation of laminin expression before muscle degeneration.
Title: Zebrafish Fukutin family proteins link the unfolded protein response with dystroglycanopathies.
Zebrafish are a useful animal model to reveal the mechanism of muscular dystrophiescaused by mutations in FKRP gene.
Title: Zebrafish models for human FKRP muscular dystrophies.
It was found that downregulating FKRP in the zebrafish results in embryos which develop a range of abnormalities reminiscent of the developmental defects observed in human muscular dystrophies associated with mutations in FKRP

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
