DESCRIPTION

Also known as MYO15_MOUSE, Myo15a, Myo15. 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 (By similarity). Required for the arrangement of stereocilia in mature hair bundles. Interacts with the third PDZ domain of WHRN which is necessary for localization of WHRN to stereocilium tips. Interacts with FASLG (By similarity). Interacts with EPS8.
