Myosin Type V

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A subclass of myosin involved in organelle transport and membrane targeting. It is abundantly found in nervous tissue and neurosecretory cells. The heavy chains of myosin V contain unusually long neck domains that are believed to aid in translocating molecules over large distances.  do not confuse with MYOSIN V1 and MYOSIN V3 see VENTRICULAR MYOSINS    Other names Myosin V p190; Myosin-V p190; Myosin V
