Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization and endocytosis. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton; cytoplasm; and membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsolateral placode; intestine; neural tube; and neuron neural crest derived. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Griscelli syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human MYO5A (myosin VA).
