Tafazzin
| View/Edit Human | View/Edit Mouse |
Tafazzin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAZ gene.[3] Tafazzin is highly expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle. It is involved in the metabolism of cardiolipin.[4]
Tafazzin functions as a phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase.[5][6]
Pathology
The mutation of the tafazzin gene is associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome (BTHS) (type II 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Tafazzin is responsible for remodeling of a phospholipid cardiolipin (CL),[7] the signature lipid of the mitochondrial inner membrane. As a result, BTHS patients exhibit defects in CL metabolism, including aberrant CL fatty acyl composition, accumulation of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) and reduced total CL levels.[8][9]
History
The protein was identified by Italian scientists Silvia Bione et al. in 1996.[10] Owing to the complex procedure required for the identification of tafazzin, the protein was named after "Tafazzi", a masochistic comic character in an Italian television show.
