About MYH2

Cytogenetic location: 17p13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:10,521,148-10,549,658 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues, 43 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 33.0) and esophagus (RPKM 24.7).

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 found in a cluster of Myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17. A mutation in this gene results in inclusion body myopathy-3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
