Myosin is a major contractile protein which converts chemical energy into mechanical energy through the hydrolysis of ATP. Myosin is a hexameric protein composed of a pair of myosin heavy chains (MYH) and two pairs of nonidentical light chains. This gene is a member of the MYH family and encodes a protein with an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with two congenital contracture (arthrogryposis) syndromes, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome and Sheldon-Hall syndrome. (provided by RefSeq)
Immunogen
MYH3 (NP_002461.1, 2 a.a. ~ 100 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Monoclonal Anti-MYH3 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for indirect ELISA and western blot applications.
Biochem/physiol Actions
MYH3 (Myosin, heavy chain 3, skeletal muscle, embryonic) plays an important role during 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).

Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) is a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous group of rare Mendelian conditions characterized by multiple pterygia, scoliosis, and congenital contractures of the limbs. MPS typically segregates as an autosomal-recessive disorder, but rare instances of autosomal-dominant transmission have

The expression and function of embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMYH) has not been investigated within the early developing heart. This is despite the knowledge that other structural proteins, such as alpha and beta myosin heavy chains and cardiac alpha actin
The genetic basis of most conditions characterized by congenital contractures is largely unknown. Here we show that mutations in the embryonic myosin heavy chain (MYH3) gene cause Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS), one of the most severe multiple congenital contracture (that is
