Summary
This gene encodes a conventional non-muscle myosin; this protein should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-9a or 9b (MYO9A or MYO9B). The encoded protein is a myosin IIA heavy chain that contains an IQ domain and a myosin head-like domain which is involved in several important functions, including cytokinesis, cell motility and maintenance of cell shape. Defects in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 17, Epstein syndrome, Alport syndrome with macrothrombocytopenia, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome and macrothrombocytopenia with progressive sensorineural deafness.

Protein Name
Myosin-9, cellular myosin heavy chain, type A, myosin, heavy chain 9, non-muscle, non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9, non-muscle myosin heavy chain A, non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIa, non-muscle myosin heavy polypeptide 9, nonmuscle myosin heavy chain II-A
 
Function
Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping. During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contacts formation (in the margins but not the central part of spreading cells), and lamellipodial retraction; this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH10.

The Regulation of RhoA activity, Signaling by Rho GTPases, and GP VI-mediated activation cascade pathways may be associated with PCOS-related hormone imbalance and platelet dysfunction. LYN, ARHGAP4, ARHGAP9 and RHOG are promising candidate genes in PCOS, and may be recommended as possible therapeutic targets for PCOS.
