These genes mainly encode structural proteins of the cardiac myocyte.

Compared to conventional breast cancer, an unexpectedly higher number of EOBC susceptibility genes encode structural proteins.

Many of these genes encode structural components of the bracovirus particles and their expression pattern correlates with particle production.

However, unlike most of the other known Pat gene family members, which encode structural components of muscle attachment sites, PAT-9 is an exclusively nuclear protein.

The last four genes encode structural components of the protein export apparatus in the flagellar base, whereas FliK is soluble and secreted during flagellar assembly.

Multiple mutations in five genes encoding structural subunits of cardiac ion channels now have been identified in families with LQTS.
