Myh11 - myosin, heavy polypeptide 11, smooth muscle Gene

Also Known as SM1; SM2; smMHC

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 17880

Summary

Enables cytoskeletal motor activity. Acts upstream of or within smooth muscle contraction. Located in brush border; smooth muscle contractile fiber; and stress fiber. Part of muscle Myosin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patent ductus arteriosus and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to human MYH11 (Myosin heavy chain 11).
