PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a globular head (associating to the light chain and containing actin and ATP binding sites)
	a neck containing IQ calmodulin or calmodulin-like light chain binding domain (the converter) connected to the base of a long alpha helical tail,(the liver)
	a light meromyosin domain of the myosin rod (LMM)important for thick filament assembly or for accessory protein binding
	four coiled-coil regions of a sarcomeric myosin rod, and rod of sarcomeric myosins directs thick filament assembly and is characterized by the insertion of four skip residues that introduce discontinuities in the coiled-coil heptad repeats

secondary structure

two heavy chains subunits (mhc), two alkali light chain subunits (mlc) and two regulatory light chain subunits (mlc2)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	MKX regulating the transcription of MYH7 through repression of SOX6 which predicts a role in fiber type specificity
	MSTN positively regulates slow isoform MYH7 but negatively regulates fast isoforms MYH1, MYH4
	FOXO1 has important roles in promoting diabetic cardiomyopathy and controls MYH7 expression in the development of cardiac dysfunction
