Entrez Gene summary for MYH2:

Myosins are actin-based motor proteins that function in the generation of mechanical force in eukaryotic cells. Muscle

myosins are heterohexamers composed of 2 myosin heavy chains and 2 pairs of nonidentical myosin light chains. This

gene encodes a member of the class II or conventional myosin heavy chains, and functions in skeletal muscle

contraction. This gene is found in a cluster of myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17. A mutation in this gene

results in inclusion body myopathy-3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been

identified. (provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MYH2_HUMAN, Q9UKX2

Function: Muscle contraction. Required for cytoskeleton organization (By similarity)

summary for MYH2:

Myosins are a large family of motor proteins that share the common features of ATP hydrolysis, actin binding

and potential for kinetic energy transduction. Originally isolated from muscle cells (hence the name),

almost all eukaryotic cells are now known to contain myosins. Structurally, mysoins contain a head domain

that binds to actin filaments (microfilaments) and is the site of ATP hydrolysis. The tail domain interacts

with cargo molecules, and the neck acts as a linker between the head and tail and is the site of regulatory

myosin light chain binding. There are 17 myosin families and the most well characterized is myosin II.

Myosin II is found predominantly in myocytes and mediates plus-ended movement along microfilaments. It is

involved in muscle contraction through cyclic interactions with actin-rich thin filaments, creating a

contractile force. It is regulated by phosphorylation via myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and by

intracellular Ca2+ concentrations.

Defects in MYH2 are the cause of inclusion body myopathy type 3 (IBM3) [MIM:605637]. Hereditary inclusion body

myopathies constitute a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by slowly progressive distal and proximal

weakness and a typical muscle pathology including rimmed vacuoles and filamentous inclusions. IBM3 is a variant of

hereditary inclusion body myopathies and is characterized by autosomal dominant myopathy with joint contracture,

ophthalmoplegia and rimmed vacuoles. Morphological analysis of muscle biopsies from patients indicate that the type 2A

fibers frequently were abnormal, whereas other fiber types appeared normal
