MYH9 Rabbit pAb

This gene encodes a conventional non-muscle myosin, this protein should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-9a or 9b (MYO9A or MYO9B). The encoded protein is a myosin IIA heavy chain that contains an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain which is involved in several important functions, including cytokinesis, cell motility and maintenance of cell shape. Defects in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 17, Epstein syndrome, Alport syndrome with macrothrombocytopenia, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome and macrothrombocytopenia with progressive sensorineural deafness. Synonyma: MHA, FTNS, EPSTS, BDPLT6, DFNA17, MATINS, NMMHCA, NMHC-II-A, NMMHC-IIA, MYH9
