DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE |
Mutant mice die early during embryonic development (PubMed:12527753). Heart-specific disruption causes cardiomyopathy in aging mice, characterized by dilated hearts that are insensitive to beta-adrenergic stimulation and impaired contractile performance (PubMed:23620051). Mutant cardiomyocytes display mitochondrial enlargement with respiratory impairment (PubMed:23620051). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23620051}. |
