MYO16 myosin XVI

Gene ID: 23026, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MYR8; MYAP3; NYAP3; Myo16b; PPP1R107

Summary

This gene encodes an unconventional myosin protein. The encoded protein has been proposed to act as a serine/threonine phosphatase-1 targeting or regulatory subunit. Studies in a rat cell line suggest that this protein may regulate cell cycle progression. A variant within this gene may be associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia and elevated expression of this gene has been observed in the frontal cortex of human schizophrenia patients.
