MYL9 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human MYL9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q11.23 and is approximately 10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myosin regulatory light polypeptide 9 protein, plays a role in the contractility of smooth muscle cells and non-muscle contractile cells. Mutations in the gene are associated with megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome 4.
