UniProtKB accession:  Q6PIF6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Their highly divergent tails are presumed to bind to membranous compartments, which would be moved relative to actin filaments. As part of the intermicrovillar adhesion complex/IMAC plays a role in epithelial brush border differentiation, controlling microvilli organization and length (PubMed:32209652, PubMed:26812018, PubMed:24725409). May link the complex to the actin core bundle of microvilli.
