Description

myosin, heavy polypeptide 4, skeletal muscle

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; double-stranded RNA binding activity; and microfilament motor activity. Acts upstream of or within response to muscle activity. Predicted to be located in myofibril. Predicted to be part of myosin II complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and myosin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; heart; limb segment; paraxial mesenchyme; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human MYH4 (myosin heavy chain 4).
