MYOC - myocilin Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as GPOA; JOAG; TIGR; GLC1A; JOAG1

Gene ID: 4653 | Gene type: protein coding

About MYOC

Cytogenetic location: 1q24.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:171,635,417-171,652,688 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 257 orthologues, 9 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 41.3), stomach (RPKM 12.2) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

MYOC encodes the protein myocilin, which is believed to have a role in cytoskeletal function. MYOC is expressed in many occular tissues, including the trabecular meshwork, and was revealed to be the trabecular meshwork glucocorticoid-inducible response protein (TIGR). The trabecular meshwork is a specialized eye tissue essential in regulating intraocular pressure, and mutations in MYOC have been identified as the cause of hereditary juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma.
