NCIt definition : Myosin-6 (1939 aa, 224 kDa) is encoded by the human MYH6 gene. This protein is involved
in cardiac muscle contraction and the structure of the sarcomere.;
NCIt note : Myosin-6 (cardiac alpha- myosin) is a candidate autoantigen for immune checkpoint
inhibitor-associated myocarditis (ICI-MC). (Nature. 2022; 611:818-826. doi: 10.1038/s41586-022-05432-3.);
