gene: nmy-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables calmodulin binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including asymmetric protein localization involved in cell fate determination; cell division; and regulation of anatomical structure morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; contractile ring; and mitotic spindle. Expressed in several structures, including distal tip cell; germ line; hypodermal cell; neuroblasts; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including aortic aneurysm (multiple); auditory system disease (multiple); and blood platelet disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human MYH10 (myosin heavy chain 10); MYH11 (myosin heavy chain 11); and MYH9 (myosin heavy chain 9).
