Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionnmy-2 encodes a non-muscle myosin II; NMY-2 is required for polarized cytoplasmic flow, polarized distribution of the PAR proteins, cytokinesis, and for proper anterior-posterior polarity in early embryos; NMY-2 functions with PAR-5 in the onset of the establishment phase of polarization in the C. elegans zygote along the anterior-posterior axis, and nmy-2 is partially redundant with nmy-1 with respect to embryonic elongation; NMY-2 localization is dynamic in oocytes and embryos, with localization seen at the cell cortex, cleavage furrow, and spindle; once embryonic polarization is established, cortical NMY-2 localizes asymmetrically, with higher levels seen in the anterior cortex; NMY-2 binds bovine calmodulin in vitro in a calcium-dependent manner; during larval development, NMY-2 is required for correct fate specification in seam cell divisions.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002506

Automated_descriptionEnables calmodulin binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including asymmetric protein localization involved in cell fate determination; cell division; and regulation of anatomical structure morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; contractile ring; and mitotic spindle. Expressed in several structures, including distal tip cell; germ line; hypodermal cell; neuroblasts; and rectal gland cell. 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 MYH10 (myosin heavy chain 10); MYH11 (myosin heavy chain 11); and MYH9 (myosin heavy chain 9).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (148)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
