Source: NCBI Gene (ID 84700)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 84700)
Symbol: MYO18B
Full name: myosin XVIIIB
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: KFS4
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene may regulate muscle-specific genes when in the nucleus and may influence intracellular trafficking when in the cytoplasm. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and may interact with F actin. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
