Family: MYMX family
Function:
Myoblast-specific protein that mediates myoblast fusion, an essential step for the formation of multi-nucleated muscle fibers. Involved in membrane fusion downstream of the lipid mixing step mediated by MYMK. Acts by generating membrane stresses via its extracellular C-terminus, leading to drive fusion pore formation. Acts independently of MYMK. Involved in skeletal muscle regeneration in response to injury by mediating the fusion of satellite cells, a population of muscle stem cells, with injured myofibers. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2Q5T5}.
