MYO1A myosin IA

Gene ID: 4640, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BBMI; MIHC; MYHL; DFNA48

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the myosin superfamily. The protein represents an unconventional myosin; it should not be confused with the conventional skeletal muscle myosin-1 (MYH1). Unconventional myosins contain the basic domains characteristic of conventional myosins and are further distinguished from class members by their tail domains. They function as actin-based molecular motors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant deafness. Alternatively spliced variants have been found for this gene.
