Myosin 1A Products

Description

MYO1A, also known as Unconventional myosin-Ia, is a 1,043 amino acid protein that is 118 kDa, expressed by enterocytes, the epithelial cells that line the luminal surface of the small intestine, functions as actin-based molecular motor that, upon interaction with actin filaments, utilize energy from ATP hydrolysis to generate mechanical force, and potentially it is involved in directing the movement of organelles along actin filaments. Current research is being performed on this proteins involvement in deafness, autosomal dominant 48, spinal cord injury, brachial plexus injuries, sensorineural hearing loss, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, myotonic dystrophy, pulmonary disease, t cell deficiency, and retinitis. The protein has been linked to the RhoA pathway, antioxidant action of vitamin-C, transendothelial migration of leukocytes, actin nucleation by ARP-WASP complex, epithelial adherens junctions, cellular effects of sildenafil, ILK signaling, epithelial tight junctions, RhoGDI pathway, PAK pathway, and Fc-GammaR-mediated phagocytosis in macrophages pathways where it interacts with BAZ1B, FBL, MAP3K3, SMARCA5, USP20, NEK6, PHLDA3, and over 50 other proteins.
