About Myoc

Summary

Predicted to enable fibronectin binding activity; Myosin light chain binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus and nerve development. Located in several cellular components, including Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; mesaxon; and myelin sheath abaxonal region. Biomarker of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and ocular hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in juvenile glaucoma; low tension glaucoma; ocular hypertension; open-angle glaucoma; and primary open angle glaucoma. Orthologous to human MYOC (myocilin).
