drug target | restoration of FASTK expression through genetic approaches might be a promising therapeutic strategy for alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) | Mus musculus |
malfunction | compared to wild type control, alcohol-related myocardial morphological (hypertrophy, fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis) and functional (reduced ejection fraction and compromised cardiomyocyte contraction) anomalies are worsened in FASTK deficient mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | the enzyme is a key post-transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial gene expression. Accelerated FASTK mRNA degradation induced by oxidative stress is responsible for the destroyed myocardial mitochondrial gene expression and respiratory function in alcoholic cardiomyopathy | Mus musculus |
