MYH8 (Myosin Heavy Chain 8) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MYH8 include Carney Complex Variant and Trismus-Pseudocamptodactyly Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Sertoli-Sertoli Cell Junction Dynamics and Actin Nucleation by ARP-WASP Complex. MYH8 encodes a member of the class II or conventional myosin heavy chains, and functions in skeletal muscle contraction. MYH8 is predominantly expressed in fetal skeletal muscle. MYH8 is found in a cluster of myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17.
