Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Myosin V

Note

  • do not confuse with MYOSIN V1 and MYOSIN V3 see VENTRICULAR MYOSINS

Scope note

  • A subclass of myosin involved in organelle transport and membrane targeting. It is abundantly found in nervous tissue and neurosecretory cells. The heavy chains of myosin V contain unusually long neck domains that are believed to aid in translocating molecules over large distances.

History note

  • 2002; for MYOSIN-V P190 use CHICKEN BRAIN MYOSIN-V P190 (NM) 1993-2001
