Full name: myosin VB

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: mKIAA1119

Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and brush border. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; and gut. Used to study microvillus inclusion disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microvillus inclusion disease. Orthologous to human MYO5B (myosin VB).
