Description
Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping (By similarity). Promotes also cell motility together with S100A4. 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 (By similarity)
