MYH2 MYHSA2

Myosin-2 (Myosin heavy chain 2) (Myosin heavy chain 2a) (MyHC-2a) (Myosin heavy chain IIa) (MyHC-IIa) (Myosin heavy chain, skeletal muscle, adult 2)

Myosins are actin-based motor proteins that function in the generation of mechanical force in eukaryotic cells. Muscle myosins are heterohexamers composed of 2 myosin heavy chains and 2 pairs of nonidentical myosin light chains. This gene encodes a member of the class II or conventional myosin heavy chains, and functions in skeletal muscle contraction. This gene is found in a cluster of myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17. A mutation in this gene results in inclusion body myopathy-3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009],

Disease:Defects in MYH2 are the cause of inclusion body myopathy type 3 (IBM3) [MIM:605637]. Hereditary inclusion body myopathies constitute a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by slowly progressive distal and proximal weakness and a typical muscle pathology including rimmed vacuoles and filamentous inclusions. IBM3 is a variant of hereditary inclusion body myopathies and is characterized by autosomal dominant myopathy with joint contracture, ophthalmoplegia and rimmed vacuoles. Morphological analysis of muscle biopsies from patients indicate that the type 2A fibers frequently were abnormal, whereas other fiber types appeared normal.,Domain:The rodlike tail sequence is highly repetitive, showing cycles of a 28-residue repeat pattern composed of 4 heptapeptides, characteristic for alpha-helical coiled coils.,Function:Muscle contraction. Required for cytoskeleton organization.,miscellaneous:Each myosin heavy chain can be split into 1 light meromyosin (LMM) and 1 heavy meromyosin (HMM). It can later be split further into 2 globular subfragments (S1) and 1 rod-shaped subfragment (S2).,similarity:Contains 1 IQ domain.,similarity:Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.,subcellular location:Thick filaments of the myofibrils.,subunit:Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein that consists of 2 heavy chain subunits (MHC), 2 alkali light chain subunits (MLC) and 2 regulatory light chain subunits (MLC-2).,
