See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000053023 AllianceGenome:RGD:1588532
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Also known as: Taz
Summary: Predicted to enable 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of ATP biosynthetic process and positive regulation of cardiolipin metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial outer membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Barth syndrome and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human TAFAZZIN (tafazzin, phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Annotation information: Note: Some orthologs of Taz (Gene ID: 363521) and Wwtr1 (Gene ID: 295062), such as the human and mouse orthologs, share the Taz symbol/alias in common. Taz is a widely used alternative name for WW domain-containing transcription regulator protein 1 (Wwtr1), which can be confused with the official symbol for tafazzin (Taz). [20 Dec 2019]
Expression: Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 174.1), Muscle (RPKM 168.7) and 9 other tissues See more

What's a GeneRIF?

Results find that knock-out of tafazzin (Taz) changed substantially the profile of fatty acids incorporated in cardiolipin (CL) and the distribution of CL species. It was further associated with decreased capacity of oxidative phosphorylation and switch to glycolysis, altered morphology and arrangement, and reduction in glioma cell proliferation.
Title: Tafazzin-dependent cardiolipin composition in C6 glioma cells correlates with changes in mitochondrial and cellular functions, and cellular proliferation.
Knock-down of tafazzin had no consequence with respect to the pattern of cellular fatty acids but caused a decrease in cell proliferation.
Title: Effects of siRNA-dependent knock-down of cardiolipin synthase and tafazzin on mitochondria and proliferation of glioma cells.
Tafazzin knockdown interrupts the neonatal ventricular fibroblast cell cycle and this in turn may contribute to fibrosis and dilated cardiomyopathy in Barth syndrome.
Title: Tafazzin knockdown interrupts cell cycle progression in cultured neonatal ventricular fibroblasts.
Data support the concept that a decreased tafazzin expression causes cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro.

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.
