Preferred term

Myosin Heavy Chains  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Heavy Chain, Myosin
  • Myosin Heavy Chain

Scope note

  • The larger subunits of MYOSINS. The heavy chains have a molecular weight of about 230 kDa and each heavy chain is usually associated with a dissimilar pair of MYOSIN LIGHT CHAINS. The heavy chains possess actin-binding and ATPase activity.

History note

  • 1996; for MYOSIN HEAVY CHAIN use MYOSINS 1982-1995
