The unconventional myosin proteins function as actin-based molecular motors. Class I myosins are characterized by a head (motor) domain, a regulatory domain and a either a short or long tail domain. Among the class I myosins, this protein is distinguished by a long tail domain that is involved in crosslinking actin filaments. This protein localizes to the cytoplasm and may be involved in intracellular movement and membrane trafficking. Mutations in this gene are the cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis-6. This gene has been referred to as myosin IC in the literature but is distinct from the myosin IC gene located on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012] Annotation information Note: MYO1C (Gene ID: 4641) and MYO1E (Gene ID: 4643) share the MYO1C symbol/alias in common. MYO1C is a widely used alternative name for myosin IE (MYO1E), which can be confused with the official symbol for myosin IC (MYO1C).
