Background

MYH7 encodes the beta myosin heavy chain (MHC-beta ) which is a component of cardiac muscle myosin mainly expressed in the ventricle of fetal heart and represents the minority myosin in the adult heart. This is the 'slow form' of cardiac myosin as opposed to the 'fast form' (MYH6, aka MHC-alpha ) expressed more predominantely in the atria of the fetal heart and is the predominant myosin in the adult heart. The two isoforms of cardiac MHC alpha  and  beta  display 93% homology but have significantly different enzymatic properties, with  alpha  having 150-300% the contractile velocity and 60-70% actin attachment time as that of beta . Several mutations in MYH7 have been associated with inherited cardiomyopathies paraspinal and proximal muscle atrophy. MYH7 is a 223 kDa protein composed of 1935 amino acids.
