Summary | This gene encodes a member of the unconventional myosin protein family, which are actin-based molecular motors. The protein is found in the cytoplasm, and one isoform with a unique N-terminus is also found in the nucleus. The protein functions in intracellular vesicle transport to the plasma membrane. The nuclear isoform associates with RNA polymerase I and II and functions in transcription initiation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
