AKIRIN1

protein-coding

akirin 1

Gene summary

Predicted to enable transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including myoblast migration involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; negative regulation of satellite cell differentiation; and positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly. Located in nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_024595.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Functions as signal transducer for MSTN during skeletal muscle regeneration and myogenesis. May regulates chemotaxis of both macrophages and myoblasts by reorganising actin cytoskeleton, leading to more efficient lamellipodia formation via a PI3 kinase dependent pathway. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99LF1}.;
