Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization; actin filament-based movement; and endocytosis. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; microvillus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; gonad; nervous system; neural retina; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. Orthologous to human MYO1H (myosin IH).
