Myo18a - myosin XVIIIA Gene

Also Known as MAJN; MyoPDZ; MysPDZ; SP-R210

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 360013

Summary

Predicted to enable ADP binding activity; ATP binding activity; and actin filament binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of opsonization and regulation of macrophage activation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-gamma. Located in brush border; cytoskeleton; and phagocytic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; lower leg rest of mesenchyme; molar; nervous system; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human MYO18A (Myosin XVIIIA).
