Summary: This gene encodes a major sarcomeric protein in mammalian striated muscle. The encoded protein plays a role in embryonic heart muscle structure and function, while phosphorylation of the encoded protein is involved in cardiac myosin cycling kinetics, torsion and function in adults. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 10 and infant-onset myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Using transgenic mice with cardiac-specific expression of human R58Q-RLC mutant, we sought to determine whether the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype observed in papillary muscles (PMs) of R58Q mice is also manifested in slow-twitch soleus (SOL) muscles. Consistent with SOL muscle abnormalities in R58Q vs. wild-type mice, myosin ATPase staining showed a decreased proportion of fiber type I/type II only in SOL muscles.

The study revealed a total of 10 variations - 7 in MYL2 and 3 in MYL3, of which 3 are novel variations observed exclusively in cases. MYL2 and MYL3 mutations are rare and the least cause of cardiomyopathies in Indians.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
