Gene: MYO18A

Alternate names for this Gene: MAJN|MYSPDZ|SP-R210|SPR210

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene can bind GOLPH3, linking the Golgi to the cytoskeleton and influencing Golgi membrane trafficking. The encoded protein is also part of a complex that assembles lamellar actomyosin bundles and may be required for cell migration.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2

Description of this Gene: myosin XVIIIA

Type of Gene: protein-coding
