Myosin-7 - Wikipedia
Myosin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH7 gene. It is the myosin heavy chain beta (MHC-β) isoform (slow twitch) expressed primarily in the heart, but also in skeletal muscles (type I fibers). [5] This isoform is distinct from the fast isoform of cardiac myosin heavy chain, MYH6, referred to as MHC-α.
MYH7 gene - MedlinePlus
The MYH7 gene provides instructions for making a protein known as the beta (β)-myosin heavy chain. This protein is found in heart (cardiac) muscle and in type I skeletal muscle fibers. (Skeletal muscle are the muscles used for movement.)

Natural History of MYH7-Related Dilated Cardiomyopathy | JACC
Variants in myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) are responsible for disease in 1% to 5% of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, the clinical characteristics and natural history of MYH7-related DCM are poorly described.
MYH7 variants cause complex congenital heart disease
MYH7, encoding the myosin heavy chain sarcomeric β-myosin heavy chain, is a common cause of both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy.
