MYO1H
Description
The MYO1H (myosin IH) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
MYO1H is a human gene that encodes an unconventional myosin protein. Myosins are motor proteins that interact with actin filaments to generate movement. MYO1H is specifically involved in intracellular transport, likely moving cellular components such as membranes along actin tracks.
Myosins are molecular motors that interact with actin filaments, utilizing ATP to generate force and movement. Unconventional myosins, like MYO1H, are involved in a variety of intracellular transport processes. The unique tail structure of MYO1H is thought to bind to cellular membranes, facilitating their movement along actin tracks.
MYO1H is also known as CCHS2.
