Gene information for MYH9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4627
Official gene symbolMYH9
Full namemyosin, heavy chain 9, non-muscle
Aliases,DFNA17,EPSTS,FTNS,MGC104539,MHA,NMHC-II-A,NMMHCA,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a myosin IIA heavy chain that contains an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain. The protein is involved in several important functions, including cytokinesis, cell motility and maintenance of cell shape. Defects in MYH9 are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 17, Epstein syndrome, Alport syndrome with macrothrombocytopenia, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome and macrothrombocytopenia with progressive sensorineural deafness.
