Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the myosin superfamily. Myosins are actin-dependent motor proteins and are categorized into conventional myosins (class II) and unconventional myosins (classes I and III through XV) based on their variable C-terminal cargo-binding domains. Class III myosins, such as this one, have a kinase domain N-terminal to the conserved N-terminal motor domains and are expressed in photoreceptors. The protein encoded by this gene plays an important role in hearing in humans. Three different recessive, loss of function mutations in the encoded protein have been shown to cause nonsyndromic progressive hearing loss. Expression of this gene is highly restricted, with the strongest expression in retina and cochlea. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,disease:Defects in MYO3A are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 30 (DFNB30) [MIM:607101]. DFNB30 is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information.,function:Probable actin-based motor with a protein kinase activity. Probably plays a role in vision and hearing.,similarity:Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 3 IQ domains.,similarity:In the N-terminal section; belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,tissue specificity:Strongest expression in retina, retinal pigment epithelial cells, cochlea and pancreas.,
