Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase necessary for normal composition and content of cardiolipin. In humans, mutations of this gene result in Barth syndrome, most often characterized by cardioskeletal myopathy, neutropenia and abnormal mitochondria. This gene is distinct from the gene encoding transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif. Both genes share the gene symbol Taz. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
Annotation information: Note: Wwtr1 (Gene ID: 97064) and Taz (Gene ID: 66826) loci share the Taz symbol/alias in common. [08 Feb 2019]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in bladder adult (RPKM 22.8), genital fat pad adult (RPKM 22.0) and 28 other tissues See more

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.
