gene: hum-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament-based process; sensory organ development; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; microvillus; and vesicle. Predicted to be part of myosin VI complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Usher syndrome type 1; auditory system disease (multiple); and congenital nystagmus. Is an ortholog of human MYO7A (myosin VIIA).
