Function Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping. During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contacts formation (in the margins but not the central part of spreading cells), and lamellipodial retraction; this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH10. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20052411}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250}. Note=Colocalizes with actin filaments at lamellipodia margins and at the leading edge of migrating cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20052411}.
Disease Associations May-Hegglin anomaly (MHA) [MIM:155100]: A disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, giant platelets and Dohle body- like inclusions in peripheral blood leukocytes. appearing as highly parallel paracrystalline bodies. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10973260, ECO:0000269PubMed:12533692, ECO:0000269PubMed:12792306}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Sebastian syndrome (SBS) [MIM:605249]: Autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia characterized by thrombocytopenia, giant platelets and leukocyte inclusions that are smaller and less organized than in May-Hegglin anomaly. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12533692}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Fechtner syndrome (FTNS) [MIM:153640]: Autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia characterized by thrombocytopenia, giant platelets and leukocyte inclusions that are small and poorly organized. Additionally, FTNS is distinguished by Alport-like clinical features of sensorineural deafness, cataracts and nephritis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10973259, ECO:0000269PubMed:11776386, ECO:0000269PubMed:12533692, ECO:0000269PubMed:12792306}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Alport syndrome, with macrothrombocytopenia (APSM) [MIM:153650]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the association of ocular lesions, sensorineural hearing loss and nephritis (Alport syndrome) with platelet defects. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11590545}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Epstein syndrome (EPS) [MIM:153650]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the association of macrothrombocytopathy, sensorineural hearing loss and nephritis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11752022, ECO:0000269PubMed:11935325, ECO:0000269PubMed:12533692, ECO:0000269PubMed:12792306, ECO:0000269PubMed:16969870}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Deafness, autosomal dominant, 17 (DFNA17) [MIM:603622]: A form of deafness characterized by progressive high frequency hearing impairment and cochleosaccular degeneration. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11023810}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Macrothrombocytopenia and progressive sensorineural deafness (MPSD) [MIM:600208]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the association of macrothrombocytopathy and progressive sensorineural hearing loss without renal dysfunction. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12621333}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Note=Subjects with mutations in the motor domain of MYH9 present with severe thrombocytopenia and develop nephritis and deafness before the age of 40 years, while those with mutations in the tail domain have a much lower risk of noncongenital complications and significantly higher platelet counts. The clinical course of patients with mutations in the four most frequently affected residues of MYH9 (responsible for 70% of MYH9- related cases) were evaluated. Mutations at residue 1933 do not induce kidney damage or cataracts and cause deafness only in the elderly, those in position 702 result in severe thrombocytopenia and produce nephritis and deafness at a juvenile age, while alterations at residue 1424 or 1841 result in intermediate clinical pictures.Note=Genetic variations in MYH9 are associated with non- diabetic end stage renal disease (ESRD).
Tissue Specificity In the kidney, expressed in the glomeruli. Also expressed in leukocytes. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11752022, ECO:0000269PubMed:1912569}.
