MYO15A
Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Their highly divergent tails are presumed to bind to membranous compartments, which would be moved relative to actin filaments. Required for the arrangement of stereocilia in mature hair bundles. Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family. Highly expressed in pituitary. Also expressed at lower levels in adult brain, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle. Not expressed in brain. In the pituitary, highly expressed in anterior gland cells. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
