Tafazzin regulates neutrophil maturation and inflammatory response [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene. It is characterized by neutropenia, cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy.

Role of Tafazzin in Mitochondrial Function, Development and Disease [PDF]

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2020
Tafazzin, an enzyme associated with the rare inherited x-linked disorder Barth Syndrome, is a nuclear encoded mitochondrial transacylase that is highly conserved across multiple species and plays an important role in mitochondrial function.

Defective vascular smooth muscle cell tafazzin impairs mitochondrial function and promotes atherosclerosis in preclinical models [PDF]

Nature Communications
Atherosclerotic lesions show significant mitochondrial dysfunction but the underlying mechanisms and consequences remain unknown. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid found exclusively in the mitochondrial inner membrane, the site of oxidative phosphorylation ...

Phenotypic Characterization of Female Carrier Mice Heterozygous for Tafazzin Deletion

Biology, 2023
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in tafazzin resulting in deficits in cardiolipin remodeling that alter major metabolic processes. The tafazzin gene is encoded on the X chromosome, and therefore BTHS primarily affects males.

Tafazzin Mutation Affecting Cardiolipin Leads to Increased Mitochondrial Superoxide Anions and Mitophagy Inhibition in Barth Syndrome

Cells, 2020
Tafazzin is a phospholipid transacylase that catalyzes the remodeling of cardiolipin, a mitochondrial phospholipid required for oxidative phosphorylation.

Case Report: Deletion in the 5' untranslated region of TAFAZZIN in a boy with Barth syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundBarth syndrome is an X-linked disorder characterised by cardiomyopathy, growth abnormalities, neutropenia, and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. It is caused by pathogenic variants in TAFAZZIN, which encodes a mitochondrial protein essential for ...

Tafazzin modulates cellular phospholipid composition to regulate AML stemness [PDF]

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019
Tafazzin is a mitochondrial enzyme necessary for the remodeling of the phospholipid cardiolipin. Seneviratne and Xu et al. demonstrated that Tafazzin-mediated phospholipid production regulates stemness in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Tafazzin influenced

Effects of Cannabidiol on TAFAZZIN‐Deficient B‐Lymphoblastoid Cells [PDF]

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Deficiency of the cardiolipin remodeling enzyme TAFAZZIN causes Barth syndrome (BTHS), resulting in cardiolipin loss, monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) accumulation, and electron transport chain (ETC) abnormalities in B‐lymphoblastoid cells. Effects of the non‐psychotropic phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) were examined on B‐lymphoblastoid cells from ...

Deficient Cardiolipin Remodelling Alters Muscle Fibre Composition and Neuromuscular Connectivity in Barth Syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked mitochondrial disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene, which disrupts cardiolipin (CL) remodelling and mitochondrial function. While cardiac manifestations of BTHS are well characterized in male patients, the mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle weakness and fatigability are poorly

Diminished exercise capacity and mitochondrial bc1 complex deficiency in tafazzin-knockdown mice. [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
The phospholipid, cardiolipin, is essential for maintaining mitochondrial structure and optimal function. Cardiolipin-deficiency in humans, Barth syndrome, is characterized by exercise intolerance, dilated cardiomyopathy, neutropenia and 3-methyl ...
