Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel morphogenesis; inner ear development; and response to auditory stimulus. Predicted to be located in clathrin-coated pit; microvillus; and ruffle membrane. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; endocytic vesicle; and ruffle. Is expressed in dorsal aorta; neural tube; posterior cardinal vein; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 22; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 37; ovarian cancer; and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human MYO6 (myosin VI).
