Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 17907 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) A structural constituent of muscle. Involved in skeletal muscle tissue development. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including arterial system; embryo mesenchyme; eye; limb; and musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 1C. Orthologous to human MYL11 (myosin light chain 11). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene die immediately after birth and completely lack skeletal muscle. [provided by MGI curators] |
