Name
Myosin heavy chain
Synonyms
  • beta-myosin heavy chain
  • Bsh
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables microfilament motor activity and protein homodimerization activity. A structural constituent of muscle. Involved in several processes, including actin cytoskeleton organization; adult somatic muscle development; and epithelial cell migration. Located in A band and polytene chromosome puff. Is expressed in several structures, including adult digestive system; anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; gut section; muscle cell; and muscle system. Used to study cardiomyopathy (multiple) and muscle tissue disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cardiomyopathy (multiple); congenital heart disease (multiple); contractures, pterygia, and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome (multiple); heart conduction disease (multiple); and muscle tissue disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including MYH1 (myosin heavy chain 1); MYH13 (myosin heavy chain 13); and MYH15 (myosin heavy chain 15).
FB Description
Myosin heavy chain (Mhc) encodes the motor protein that provides the force for muscle contraction through its ATP-dependent interaction with actin filaments. It functions with essential and regulatory light chains.
