Myh8 - myosin heavy chain 8

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and microfilament motor activity. Predicted to be involved in ATP metabolic process; muscle filament sliding; and skeletal muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita; disease of cellular proliferation; and distal arthrogryposis type 7. Orthologous to human MYH8 (myosin heavy chain 8).
