Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be a structural constituent of muscle. Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in myofibril. Predicted to be part of myosin II complex. Predicted to be active in contractile muscle fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; embryo mesenchyme; eye; heart; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 14. Orthologous to human MYL1 (myosin light chain 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit developmental delay, fail to form mesoderm, and die by embryonic day 8.5.
