MYH7B

Also known as MHC14, MYH14, myosin, heavy chain 7B, cardiac muscle, beta, myosin heavy chain 7B

Myosin-7B also known as myosin, heavy chain 7B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH7B gene.

Gene data

MYH7B

Name: myosin heavy chain 7B
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: MHC14, MYH14, lncMYH7b

The myosin II molecule is a multi-subunit complex consisting of two heavy chains and four light chains. This gene encodes a heavy chain of myosin II, which is a member of the motor-domain superfamily. The heavy chain includes a globular motor domain, which catalyzes ATP hydrolysis and interacts with actin, and a tail domain in which heptad repeat sequences promote dimerization by interacting to form a rod-like alpha-helical coiled coil. This heavy chain subunit is a slow-twitch myosin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, but the full-length nature of these variants is not determined.
