Summary: Enables receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ERBB2-ERBB3 signaling pathway; neurogenesis; and skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and node of Ranvier. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; lung; and meninges. Used to study open-angle glaucoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in juvenile glaucoma; low tension glaucoma; ocular hypertension; open-angle glaucoma; and primary open angle glaucoma. Orthologous to human MYOC (myocilin).

For this study, we utilized a transgenic mouse expressing human mutant MYOC Y437H protein and we examined its skeletal (gastrocnemius) muscle phenotype. Electron micrographs showed that sarcomeres in the skeletal muscle of mutant CMV-MYOC-Y437H mice had multiple M-bands.

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.
