Background
This gene encodes a member of the myosin superfamily. The protein represents a conventional non-muscle myosin; it should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-14 (MYO14). Myosins are actin-dependent motor proteins with diverse functions including regulation of cytokinesis, cell motility, and cell polarity. Mutations in this gene result in one form of autosomal dominant hearing impairment. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function
disease:Defects in MYH14 are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 4 (DFNA4) [MIM:600652]. DFNA4 is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information.,domain:The rodlike tail sequence is highly repetitive, showing cycles of a 28-residue repeat pattern composed of 4 heptapeptides, characteristic for alpha-helical coiled coils.,function:Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping.,sequence caution:Translation N-terminally extended.,similarity:Contains 1 IQ domain.,similarity:Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.,subunit:Myosin is a hexameric protein that consists of 2 heavy chain subunits (MHC), 2 alkali light cha

Tissue expression
High levels of expression are found in brain (highest in corpus callosum), heart, kidney, liver, lung, small intestine, colon and skeletal muscle. Expression is low in organs composed mainly of smooth muscle, such as aorta, uterus and urinary bladder. No detectable expression is found in thymus, spleen, placenta and lymphocytes.
