Our study demonstrates that the expression of Mipu1 mRNA and protein is induced to be up-regulated after myocardial infarction mainly in the infarcted area and some extent in the remote noninfarcted myocardium, suggesting that Mipu1 may be important for the survival and ultimate healing of cardiac structures after experimental myocardial infarction, which is deserved to be identified further. Here, ZNF667 is linked to myocardial infarction.
