Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The protein is expressed preferentially in the heart and skeletal muscle. This protein regulates Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase, which plays an important role in maintenance of muscle structure and function. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012],similarity:Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.,subunit:Associates specifically with myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK).,tissue specificity:Expressed preferentially in skeletal muscle and heart but not in the lens.,
