Myosin 1A Proteins and Enzymes

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 ...
