Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** ACTA1 is a gene that encodes for the alpha-1 isoform of the actin protein, which is a crucial component of the actin cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure composed of actin filaments that provide mechanical support, shape, and mobility to cells. ACTA1 is specifically expressed in skeletal muscle tissue, where it plays a vital role in muscle contraction, cell signaling, and adaptation to various stimuli. **Pathways and Functions:** ACTA1 is involved in various cellular pathways that regulate muscle contraction, cell signaling, and adaptation to environmental changes. These pathways include: 1. **Muscle contraction:** ACTA1 is essential for the formation of thin filaments in skeletal muscle, which interact with myosin filaments to generate contractile force. 2. **Cytoskeleton dynamics:** ACTA1 regulates the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton, which is critical for cell shape, mobility, and intracellular signaling. 3. **Cell signaling:** ACTA1 interacts with various signaling molecules, including myosin-binding proteins, to regulate muscle contraction and cell adaptation. 4. **Adaptation to stimuli:** ACTA1 is involved in the regulation of muscle fiber adaptation to various stimuli, including exercise, hypoxia, and oxidative stress. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of ACTA1 has been implicated in various skeletal muscle-related disorders, including: 1. **Muscular dystrophy:** Mutations in ACTA1 have been identified in patients with muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. 2. **Muscle wasting:** ACTA1 dysregulation has been linked to muscle wasting disorders, including cachexia and sarcopenia. 3. **Muscle injury:** ACTA1 plays a critical role in the regulation of muscle fiber adaptation to injury, and dysregulation of ACTA1 has been implicated in the development of muscle damage and fibrosis. **Significantly Expressed Cells:** ACTA1 is expressed in a variety of cell types, including: 1. **Lymphocytes:** ACTA1 is expressed in lymphocytes, which are critical for immune responses. 2. **Fibroblasts:** ACTA1 is expressed in fibroblasts, which are involved in wound healing and tissue repair. 3. **Cardiac muscle cells:** ACTA1 is expressed in cardiac muscle cells, which are critical for heart function. 4. **Embryonic stem cells:** ACTA1 is expressed in embryonic stem cells, which are involved in development and tissue regeneration. In conclusion, ACTA1 is a critical gene that plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle function and disease. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various skeletal muscle-related disorders, and further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying ACTA1-mediated muscle function and disease.
