This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 94 orthologues, 43 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in esophagus (RPKM 10.4), prostate (RPKM 1.7) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

Myosins are actin-based motor proteins that function in the generation of mechanical force in eukaryotic cells. Muscle myosins are heterohexamers composed of 2 Myosin heavy chains and 2 pairs of nonidentical Myosin light chains. This gene encodes a member of the class II or conventional Myosin heavy chains, and functions in skeletal muscle contraction. This gene is predominantly expressed in fetal skeletal muscle. This gene is found in a cluster of Myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17. A mutation in this gene results in trismus-pseudocamptodactyly syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
