| UniProt code: Q02440. |
| Organism: | Gallus gallus (Chicken). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Archelosauria; Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves; Neognathae; Galloanserae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus. | |
| Function: | Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Involved in melanosome transport. Also mediates the transport of vesicles to the plasma membrane. May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | May be a homodimer, which associates with multiple calmodulin or myosin light chains. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Neuronal and non-neuronal cells of the brain. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
