Gene: MYO1A

Alternate names for this Gene: BBMI|DFNA48|MIHC|MYHL

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the myosin superfamily. The protein represents an unconventional myosin; it should not be confused with the conventional skeletal muscle myosin-1 (MYH1). Unconventional myosins contain the basic domains characteristic of conventional myosins and are further distinguished from class members by their tail domains. They function as actin-based molecular motors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant deafness. Alternatively spliced variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q13.3
