myosin-1d (MYO1D, KIAA0727)

Function

• 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
• binds calmodulin through its IQ motifs (putative)

Structure

• contains 2 IQ domains
• contains 1 myosin head-like domain

Expression

• expressed in many tissues
• expressed in brain > lung & ovary > spleen

More general terms

• unconventional myosin
• phosphoprotein
