Background
Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein containing 2 heavychain subunits, 2 alkali light chain subunits, and 2 regulatorylight chain subunits. This gene encodes the beta (or slow) heavychain subunit of cardiac myosin. It is expressed predominantly innormal human ventricle. It is also expressed in skeletal muscletissues rich in slow-twitch type I muscle fibers. Changes in therelative abundance of this protein and the alpha (or fast) heavysubunit of cardiac myosin correlate with the contractile velocityof cardiac muscle. Its expression is also altered during thyroidhormone depletion and hemodynamic overloading. Mutations in thisgene are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,myosin storage myopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and Laingearly-onset distal myopathy.
