nmy-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Involved in several processes, including locomotion; nematode larval development; and regulation of embryonic cell shape. Located in adherens junction and contractile fiber. Expressed in head; hypodermis; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including aortic aneurysm (multiple); auditory system disease (multiple); and blood platelet disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human MYH11 (myosin heavy chain 11).
