Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Tafazzin—an acyltransferase—is involved in cardiolipin (CL) remodeling. CL is associated with mitochondrial function, structure and more recently with cell proliferation. Various tafazzin isoforms exist in humans.

Effects of N‐oleoylethanolamide on Lymphoblasts Deficient in Tafazzin
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TAZ gene that encodes for the cardiolipin remodelling enzyme, Tafazzin. This syndrome is characterized by cardiac and skeletal myopathies, as well as immunological deficits that cause significant morbidity ...

Substantial Decrease in Plasmalogen in the Heart Associated with Tafazzin Deficiency [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2018 Tafazzin is the mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes transacylation between a phospholipid and a lysophospholipid in remodeling. Mutations in tafazzin cause Barth syndrome, a potentially life-threatening disease with the major symptom being cardiomyopathy.

Barth syndrome mutations that cause tafazzin complex lability [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2011 Deficits in mitochondrial function result in many human diseases. The X-linked disease Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in the tafazzin gene TAZ1. Its product, Taz1p, participates in the metabolism of cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of mitochondria.

Mouse Tafazzin Is Required for Male Germ Cell Meiosis and Spermatogenesis [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2015 Barth syndrome is an X-linked mitochondrial disease, symptoms of which include neutropenia and cardiac myopathy. These symptoms are the most significant clinical consequences of a disease, which is increasingly recognised to have a variable presentation.

Archives of Microbiology & Immunology, 2023 Abstract Barth Syndrome is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene. We recently demonstrated that tafazzin (Taz) protein deficiency in murine mesenchymal stems (MSCs) reduces immune function of activated wild type (WT) B lymphocytes. Interleukin-10 (

Tafazzin Modulates Allergen-Induced Mast Cell Inflammatory Mediator Secretion [PDF]
ImmunoHorizons, 2021 Abstract Allergic inflammatory diseases are a steadily growing health concern. Mast cells, a driving force behind allergic pathologies, modulate metabolic pathways to carry out various functions following IgE-FcεRI–mediated activation. Tafazzin (TAZ) is a cardiolipin transacylase that functions to remodel, and thereby mature, cardiolipin,

Phenotypic Characterization of Male Tafazzin-Knockout Mice at 3, 6, and 12 Months of Age
Biomedicines, 2023 Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for tafazzin (TAZ), a key enzyme in the remodeling of cardiolipin.

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019 Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare mitochondrial disease that causes severe cardiomyopathy and has no disease-modifying therapy. It is caused by recessive mutations in the gene tafazzin (TAZ), which encodes tafazzin—an acyltransferase that remodels the ...
