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.

Characterization of Tafazzin Splice Variants from Humans and Fruit Flies [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 The tafazzin gene encodes a phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase involved in cardiolipin metabolism, but it is not known why it forms multiple transcripts as a result of alternative splicing. Here we studied the intracellular localization, enzymatic activity, and metabolic function of four isoforms of human tafazzin and three isoforms of ...

Plasmalogen loss caused by remodeling deficiency in mitochondria
Life Science Alliance, 2019 31 P NMR unveils cell type–dependent losses of plasmalogen in the chain remodeling–deficient brain, liver, kidney, and lymphoblast in association with aberrant mitochondrial function and morphology. Lipid homeostasis is crucial in human health.

Impacts of plant tafazzin deficiency on differential gene expression
, 2023 Tafazzin is a mitochondrial protein characterized in mammals and yeast. Tafazzin remodels the fatty acids of cardiolipin, aiding in the proper function of the electron transport chain.

Metabolic switch from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis in knock‐in mouse model of Barth syndrome
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023 Mitochondria are central for cellular metabolism and energy supply. Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a severe disorder, due to dysfunction of the mitochondrial cardiolipin acyl transferase tafazzin.

Cardiolipin remodeling by TAZ/tafazzin is selectively required for the initiation of mitophagy [PDF]
Autophagy, 2015 Tafazzin (TAZ) is a phospholipid transacylase that catalyzes the remodeling of cardiolipin, a mitochondrial phospholipid required for oxidative phosphorylation. Mutations of TAZ cause Barth syndrome, which is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and dilated cardiomyopathy, leading to premature death.

Tafazzin deficiency impairs CoA-dependent oxidative metabolism in cardiac mitochondria [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 Barth syndrome is a mitochondrial myopathy resulting from mutations in the tafazzin (TAZ) gene encoding a phospholipid transacylase required for cardiolipin remodeling. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane essential for the function of numerous mitochondrial proteins and processes.

Deletion of Tafazzin in Cardiomyocytes Results in Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
, 2020 Cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of mitochondria, is crucial for mitochondrial function and architecture in the heart. Defects in cardiolipin remodeling processes and metabolism lead to cardiomyopathy, as seen in patients with Barth Syndrome (BTHS)
