Description
Predicted to have ATP binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and motor activity. Involved in heart contraction and heart development. Predicted to localize to myosin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial heart septal defect (multiple); heart conduction disease (multiple); and intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Is expressed in cardiac muscle; heart primordium; heart rudiment; and pericardial region. Orthologous to human MYH6 (myosin heavy chain 6).
