Myosin VIIA (MYO7A) is a member of the unconventional myosin superfamily of proteins. Myosins are actin binding molecular motors that use the enzymatic conversion of ATP - ADP + inorganic phosphate (Pi) to provide the energy for movement.



UniProt Q13402, Q59F32, Q92821 OMIM 276900, 601317 NCBI Gene 4647 NCBI RefSeq NP_000251 NCBI RefSeq NM_000260 NCBI UniGene 4647 NCBI Accession AAC50722, AAC50218

Unconventional myosins have diverse functions in eukaryotic cells and are primarily though to be involved in the movement or linkage of intra-cellular membranes and organelles to the actin cytoskeleton via interactions mediated by their highly divergent tail domains.

MYO7A is expressed in a number of mammalian tissues, including testis, kidney, lung, inner ear, retina and the ciliated epithelium of the nasal mucosa.
