MYH3 (Myosin, heavy chain 3, skeletal muscle, embryonic) is a skeletal-muscle myosin expressed in the thymus, placenta, heart, and liver. It encodes a muscle embryonic myosin heavy chain (MYH3) consisting of a globular motor domain attached to a short neck portion and a hinge region connected to a long coiled-coil rod domain. The rod shaped structure defines myosin tail domain.
Synonyms: Anti-Muscle embryonic myosin heavy chain; Anti-Myosin heavy chain 3; Anti-Myosin heavy chain, fast skeletal muscle, embryonic; Anti-Myosin-3; Anti-SMHCE

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: MYH3 (Myosin, heavy chain 3, skeletal muscle, embryonic) plays an important role in the early development of heart. It also plays a role in skeletal development. Mutation in MYH3 causes an autosomal dominant disorder, Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS), characterized by pterygia, camptodactyly of the hands, vertebral fusions, and scoliosis. MYH3 mutation also causes a severe multiple congenital contracture syndromes, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) and Sheldon-Hall syndrome (SHS).
