Summary: This gene is one of three myosin V heavy-chain genes, belonging to the myosin gene superfamily. Myosin V is a class of actin-based motor proteins involved in cytoplasmic vesicle transport and anchorage, spindle-pole alignment and mRNA translocation. The protein encoded by this gene is abundant in melanocytes and nerve cells. Mutations in this gene cause Griscelli syndrome type-1 (GS1) and neuroectodermal melanolysosomal disease, or Elejalde disease. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2023]
Expression: Broad expression in brain (RPKM 28.8), skin (RPKM 5.7) and 20 other tissues See more

our studies revealed RPGRIP1L as a novel MyoVa-binding protein - the first to be demonstrated to interact with MyoVa at the centrosome - and uncover an unprecedented link between MyoVa and ciliogenesis, providing new perspectives for studies aiming to better understand why defects in MyoVa cause neurological disorders in Griscelli syndrome patients.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
