UniProt functional annotation for Q8IDR3

UniProt code: Q8IDR3.

Organism: Plasmodium falciparum (isolate 3D7).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Sar; Alveolata; Apicomplexa; Aconoidasida; Haemosporida; Plasmodiidae; Plasmodium; Plasmodium (Laverania).
 
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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Tightly associated with the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
Developmental stage: Expressed during the parasite blood stage (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26149123}.
Domain: This protein differs from the typical myosin heavy chain structure in having head and tail domains but no discernible neck domain.
Similarity: Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family. {ECO:0000305}.
