MYO7A

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
MYO7A
Name
myosin VIIA
Synonyms
  • deafness, autosomal dominant 11
  • deafness, autosomal recessive 2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables calmodulin binding activity; cytoskeletal protein binding activity; and microfilament motor activity. Involved in several processes, including equilibrioception; lysosome organization; and visual perception. Acts upstream of or within sensory perception of sound. Located in several cellular components, including lysosomal membrane; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis; Usher syndrome (multiple); auditory system disease (multiple); and congenital nystagmus.
RGD Description
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]
