Myo15a - myosin XVA

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; actin binding activity; and cytoskeletal motor activity. Involved in response to light stimulus. Predicted to be located in stereocilium. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Used to study blindness. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 3 and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human MYO15A (myosin XVA). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
