Myl9

Predicted to enable myosin heavy chain binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in myofibril assembly; platelet aggregation; and stress fiber assembly. Predicted to be located in Z disc. Predicted to be part of myosin II complex. Predicted to be active in myofibril and stress fiber. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Orthologous to human MYL9 (myosin light chain 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Myl9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
