Also Known as MHCp; Myhsp; Myhs-p; MyHC-pn; 4832426G23Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 17885

Summary

This gene encodes a Myosin heavy chain. The encoded protein forms a hexamer with two heavy chains, two alkali light chains, and two regulatory light chain components. This complex functions in muscle contraction. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 11. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
