Myh14 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and microfilament motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including neuronal action potential; sensory perception of sound; and vocalization behavior. Predicted to act upstream of or within actin filament-based movement. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including brush border; myosin II filament; and stress fiber. Predicted to be part of myosin II complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and myosin filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 4A and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human MYH14 (myosin heavy chain 14).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Myh14 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
