Remove ads

Myosin-Vb, a myosin V type protein, is encoded by the MYO5B gene in humans.[5][6][7][8]

Quick facts Available structures, PDB ...

Recent evidence suggests that Myosin-Vb is related to the creation of memories[9] by actin-dependent trafficking of AMPA receptor containing recycling endosomes in dendritic spines.[10]

Mutations of MYO5B cause microvillus inclusion disease due to defective trafficking of apical and basolateral proteins.[8]

MYO5B has also been associated with bipolar disorder.[11]

Interactions

MYO5B has been shown to interact with RAB11FIP2.[12]
