NCIt definition : Human MYH11 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p13.11 and is approximately
154 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myosin-11 protein, plays a role in the
regulation of muscle contraction. The gene can be involved in a pericentric inversion
inv(16)(p13;q22) that is found in acute myeloid leukemia of M4Eo subtype.;
