Myo6 - myosin VI

Predicted to enable several functions, including ADP binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and calmodulin binding activity. Involved in response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in several cellular components, including endocytic vesicle; microvillus; and ruffle membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 22; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 37; ovarian cancer; and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human MYO6 (myosin VI). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
