MYH16
Putative uncharacterized protein MYH16
Protein Summary
Has most probably lost the function in masticatory muscles contraction suspected for its homologs in dog (AC F1PT61) and apes. The MYH16 gene, encoding a sarcomeric myosin heavy chain expressed in nonhuman primate masticatory muscles, is inactivated in humans. Stedman et al. (2004) [PubMed 15042088] hypothesized that the decrement in masticatory muscle size caused by the inactivation of MYH16 removed an evolutionary constraint on encephalization in early man.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
