The protein consists of a motor domain containing an ATP- and an actin-binding site and a globular tail which interacts with other proteins. This protein maintains the structural integrity of inner ear hair cells and mutations in this gene cause non-syndromic autosomal dominant and recessive hearing loss. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Myosin 6 is a reverse-direction motor protein that moves towards the minus-end of actin filaments. Has slow rate of actin-activated ADP release due to weak ATP binding. Functions in a variety of intracellular processes such as vesicular membrane trafficking and cell migration. Required for the structural integrity of the Golgi apparatus via the p53-dependent pro-survival pathway. Appears to be involved in a very early step of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in polarized epithelial cells. May act as a regulator of F-actin dynamics. May play a role in transporting DAB2 from the plasma membrane to specific cellular targets. Required for structural integrity of inner ear hair cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10519557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11447109, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16507995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16949370}. |Myosin head| |minus-end directed microfilament motor activity| |unconventional myosin complex| |RNA polymerase II, holoenzyme| |clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle| |filamentous actin| |ADP binding| |motor activity| |clathrin-coated vesicle membrane| |clathrin-coated pit| |endocytic vesicle| |microvillus| |apical part of cell| |filopodium| |DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator| |actin filament| |ruffle| |ruffle membrane| |signal transduction in response to DNA damage| |actin filament-based movement| |signal transduction by p53 class mediator| |cell cortex| |sensory perception of sound| |sensory perception of mechanical stimulus| |calmodulin binding| |actin filament binding| |nuclear membrane| |cytoplasmic vesicle| |actin binding| |lysosomal membrane| |endocytosis| |actin filament-based process| |import into cell| |perinuclear region of cytoplasm| |cellular response to DNA damage stimulus| |regulation of secretion| |sensory perception| |Golgi apparatus| |intracellular protein transport| |response to drug| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |nervous system process| |ATP binding| |protein transport| |intracellular transport| |peptide transport| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |amide transport| |cellular protein localization| |cellular macromolecule localization| |establishment of protein localization| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |intracellular signal transduction| |cellular response to stress| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |establishment of localization in cell| |nitrogen compound transport| |regulation of transport| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |vesicle-mediated transport| |system process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |membrane| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
