Summary: Enables microfilament motor activity. Involved in cardiac muscle contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult heart development; regulation of heart contraction; and striated muscle cell development. Located in Z disc and stress fiber. Part of myosin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; embryo mesenchyme; great vessel of heart; heart; and skeletal musculature. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1EE; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 14. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial heart septal defect (multiple); heart conduction disease (multiple); and intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Orthologous to human MYH6 (myosin heavy chain 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
