Gene: MYBPC2

Alternate names for this Gene: MYBPC|MYBPCF|fsMyBP-C

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the myosin-binding protein C family. This family includes the fast-, slow- and cardiac-type isoforms, each of which is a myosin-associated protein found in the cross-bridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. The protein encoded by this locus is referred to as the fast-type isoform. Mutations in the related but distinct genes encoding the slow-type and cardiac-type isoforms have been associated with distal arthrogryposis, type 1 and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, respectively.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.33

Description of this Gene: myosin binding protein C2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
