MYH7

Index MYH7

MYH7 is a gene encoding a myosin heavy chain beta (MHC-β) isoform (slow twitch) expressed primarily in the heart, but also in skeletal muscles (type I fibers). [1]

12 relations: Arginine, Dominance (genetics), Gene, Glutamine, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Muscle contraction, MYH6, MYL2, MYL3, Myosin, Thyroid hormones, Ventricle (heart).

Arginine

Arginine (symbol Arg or R) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Glutamine

Glutamine (symbol Gln or Q) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition in which a portion of the heart becomes thickened without an obvious cause.

Muscle contraction

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers.

MYH6

Myosin heavy chain, α isoform (MHC-α) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH6 gene.

MYL2

Myosin regulatory light chain 2, ventricular/cardiac muscle isoform (MLC-2) also known as the regulatory light chain of myosin (RLC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL2 gene.

New!!: MYH7 and MYL2 · See more »

MYL3

Myosin essential light chain (ELC), ventricular/cardiac isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL3 gene.

New!!: MYH7 and MYL3 · See more »

Myosin

Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.

Thyroid hormones

Thyroid hormones are two hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland, namely triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).

Ventricle (heart)

A ventricle is one of two large chambers in the heart that collect and expel blood received from an atrium towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs.
