Summary
Enables cytoskeletal motor activity. Involved in locomotory behavior and positive regulation of ovulation. Located in A band and striated muscle myosin thick filament. Is expressed in body wall musculature; gonad; and muscle cell. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
