Anti-Myosin Id

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.,similarity:Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.,similarity:Contains 2 IQ domains.,subunit:Binds calmodulin through its IQ motifs.,tissue specificity:Expressed in many tissues. Highest levels in brain, followed by lung and ovary, expression is lowest in spleen., Protein function: Unconventional myosin that functions as actin-based motor protein with ATPase activity. Plays a role in endosomal protein trafficking, and especially in the transfer of cargo proteins from early to recycling endosomes. Required for normal planar cell polarity in ciliated tracheal cells, for normal rotational polarity of cilia, and for coordinated, unidirectional ciliary movement in the trachea. Required for normal, polarized cilia organization in brain ependymal epithelial cells. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.. Cellular localization: Cytoplasm . Perikaryon . Cell projection, dendrite . Early endosome . Cytoplasm, cell cortex . Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in the cell cortex close to the apical cell membrane. Colocalizes with cytoplasmic puncta that are reminiscent of transport vesicles. .
