Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within protein transmembrane transport. Located in brush border. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; heart; and skeletal muscle. Used to study microvillus inclusion disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microvillus inclusion disease and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. Orthologous to human MYO5B (myosin VB).
