MYO18B
Description
The MYO18B (myosin XVIIIB) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22.
Myosin-XVIIIb is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYO18B gene. The protein encoded by this gene may regulate muscle-specific genes when in the nucleus and may influence intracellular trafficking when in the cytoplasm. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and may interact with F actin. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.
MYO18B is also known as KFS4.
