Gene information for MYH6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4624
Official gene symbolMYH6
Full namemyosin, heavy chain 6, cardiac muscle, alpha
Aliases,ASD3,CMD1EE,CMH14,MYHC,MYHCA,alpha-MHC,
Gene summaryCardiac muscle myosin is a hexamer consisting of two heavy chain subunits, two light chain subunits, and two regulatory subunits. This gene encodes the alpha heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin. The gene is located ~4kb downstream of the gene encoding the beta heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin. Mutations in this gene cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial septal defect 3. [provided by RefSeq]
