Summary
NEXN (nexilin F-actin binding protein, HGNC:29557) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p31.1, encoding Nexilin (Q0ZGT2). Involved in regulating cell migration through association with the actin cytoskeleton.
This gene encodes a filamentous actin-binding protein that may function in cell adhesion and migration. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, also known as CMD1CC. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Disease relevance. Cardiomyopathy, dilated, 1CC (CMD1CC) [MIM:613122] An autosomal dominant form of dilated cardiomyopathy, a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cardiomyopathy, dilated, 2M (CMD2M) [MIM:621261] A form of dilated cardiomyopathy, a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. CMD2M is an autosomal recessive, severe form characterized by fetal or perinatal death or by severe symptoms in infants. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic, 20 (CMH20) [MIM:613876] A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 60 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
