Description
Product Characteristics: Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping (By similarity).
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the myosin superfamily. The protein represents a conventional non-muscle myosin\, it should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-14 (MYO14). Myosins are actin-dependent motor proteins with diverse functions including regulation of cytokinesis, cell motility, and cell polarity. Mutations in this gene result in one form of autosomal dominant hearing impairment. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
