Myo9a - myosin IXa

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; GTPase activator activity; and actin binding activity. Involved in regulation of neuron projection arborization. Located in axonal growth cone. Is expressed in several structures, including incisor enamel organ; limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and thyroid gland. Used to study focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and obstructive hydrocephalus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome. Orthologous to human MYO9A (myosin IXA).
