Primary Identifier | MGI:106612 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 17913 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables microfilament motor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; positive regulation of protein targeting to membrane; and vesicle transport along actin filament. Located in several cellular components, including brush border; cytoplasmic vesicle; and stereocilium. Is expressed in brain vascular element; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cochlea; and cortical plate. Orthologous to human MYO1C (myosin IC). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-in (Y61G) mutation that sensitizes to N6-modified ADP analogs display altered fast adaption in vestibular hair cells. Mice homozygous for a nuclear isoform-specifc knock-out allele exhibit minor changes in bone marrow density and red blood cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
