Background： Myosin is a major contractile protein which converts chemical energy into mechanical energy through the hydrolysis of ATP. Myosin is a hexameric protein composed of a pair of myosin heavy chains (MYH) and two pairs of nonidentical light chains. This gene is a member of the MYH family and encodes a protein with an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with two congenital contracture (arthrogryposis) syndromes, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome and Sheldon-Hall syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：developmental stage:Abundantly present in fetal skeletal muscle and not present or barely detectable in heart and adult skeletal muscle.,disease:Defects in MYH3 are the cause of distal arthrogryposis type 2A (DA2A) [MIM:193700]; also known as Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS). Distal arthrogryposis is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by bone anomalies and joint contractures of the hands and feet, causing medially overlapping fingers, clenched fists, ulnar deviation of fingers, camptodactyly and positional foot deformities. It is a disorder of primary limb malformation without primary neurologic or muscle disease. DA2A is the most severe form of distal arthrogryposis. Affected individuals have contractures of the orofacial muscles, characterized by microstomia with pouting lips, H-shaped dimpling of the chin, deep nasolabial folds, and blepharophimo

Expression：Expressed in fetal bone, thymus, placenta, heart, brain, and liver.
