Gene

MYH9

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
MYH9
Name
myosin heavy chain 9
Synonyms
  • BDPLT6
  • cellular myosin heavy chain, type A
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including adenyl ribonucleotide binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and virus receptor activity. Contributes to actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Involved in several processes, including myeloid cell differentiation; negative regulation of actin filament severing; and plasma membrane repair. Acts upstream of or within actin filament-based movement. Located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; immunological synapse; and nucleus. Part of myosin II complex. Is active in cell surface. Implicated in several diseases, including auditory system disease (multiple); autosomal dominant Alport syndrome; blood platelet disease (multiple); end stage renal disease; and orofacial cleft. Biomarker of MYH-9 related disease.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a conventional non-muscle myosin; this protein should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-9a or 9b (MYO9A or MYO9B). The encoded protein is a myosin IIA heavy chain that contains an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain which is involved in several important functions, including cytokinesis, cell motility and maintenance of cell shape. Defects in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 17, Epstein syndrome, Alport syndrome with macrothrombocytopenia, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome and macrothrombocytopenia with progressive sensorineural deafness.
