MYH2 - myosin heavy chain 2 Gene
Also Known as IBM3; MYH2A; MYPOP; MYHSA2; MYHas8; MyHC-2A; MyHC-IIa
Species: Homo sapiens
About MYH2
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]
