Description

ANKRD2 (ankyrin repeat domain 2) encodes a protein that belongs to the muscle ankyrin repeat protein (MARP) family. It is primarily expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle and is induced by mechanical stretch. The protein localizes to the sarcomere and may play a role in muscle differentiation, mechanotransduction, and response to muscle injury.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Cardiac hypertrophy ANKRD2 expression is upregulated in response to mechanical overload; may modulate hypertrophic signaling NCBI Gene, OMIM
Muscle atrophy Altered expression observed in denervation and disuse models; potential role in muscle wasting NCBI Gene
Dilated cardiomyopathy Dysregulation of ANKRD2 in cardiac tissue associated with pathological remodeling OMIM

Protein Summary

The ANKRD2 protein contains multiple ankyrin repeats and is localized to the sarcomere. It interacts with titin and other sarcomeric proteins, participating in mechanosensing and signal transduction. It may translocate to the nucleus to regulate gene expression in response to mechanical stress.
