Background
This gene is a member of the myosin gene family. Myosins are mechanochemical proteins characterized by the presence of a motor domain, an actin-binding domain, a neck domain that interacts with other proteins, and a tail domain that serves as an anchor. This gene encodes an unconventional myosin with a very short tail. Defects in this gene are associated with the mouse shaker-1 phenotype and the human Usher syndrome 1B which are characterized by deafness, reduced vestibular function, and (in human) retinal degeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,developmental stage:Detected in optic cup in 5.5 weeks-old embryos. Expressed in retinal pigment epithelium, cochlear and vestibular neuroepithelia, and olfactory epithelium at 8 weeks. At 19 weeks, present in both pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells. At 24-28 weeks, expression in pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells increases. Present in pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells in adult.,disease:Defects in MYO7A are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 11 (DFNA11) [MIM:601317].,disease:Defects in MYO7A are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 2 (DFNB2) [MIM:600060]; also called neurosensory non-syndromic recessive deafness 2 (NSRD2). DFNB2 is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptor
