Gene information for MYO9B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4650
Official gene symbolMYO9B
Full namemyosin IXB
Aliases,CELIAC4,MYR5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the myosin family of actin-based molecular motor heavy chain proteins. The protein has four IQ motifs located in the neck domain that bind calmodulin, which serves as a light chain. The protein complex has a single-headed structure and exhibits processive movement on actin filaments toward the minus-end. The protein also has rho-GTPase activity. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with celiac disease and ulcerative colitis susceptibility. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
