MYO5A
Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Involved in melanosome transport. May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation. May be a homodimer, which associates with multiple calmodulin or myosin light chains. Binds MLPH and MYRIP. Interacts with RIPL2, the interaction is required for its role in dendrite formation. Detected in melanocytes. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
