Myosin VA Polyclonal Antibody

disease:Defects in MYO5A are a cause of Elejalde syndrome [MIM:256710]; also known as neuroectodermal melanolysosomal disease. Elejalde syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by skin hypopigmentation, the presence of large clumps of pigment in hair shafts, silvery-gray hair, accumulation of melanosomes in melanocytes and primary neurological abnormalities. Elejalde syndrome may be the same entity as Griscelli syndrome type I.,disease:Defects in MYO5A are a cause of Griscelli syndrome type-1 (GS1) [MIM:214450]; also known as Griscelli syndrome with primary neurologic impairment. Griscelli syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that results in pigmentary dilution of the skin and hair, the presence of large clumps of pigment in hair shafts, silvery-gray hair and accumulation of melanosomes in melanocytes. GS1 patients show developmental delay, hypotonia and mental retardation, without apparent immune abnormalities.,disease:Defects in MYO5A are a cause of Griscelli syndrome type-3 (GS3) [MIM:609227]. GS3 is characterized by pigmentary dilution of the skin and hair, the presence of large clumps of pigment in hair shafts, silvery-gray hair and accumulation of melanosomes in melanocytes, without other clinical manifestations.,function:Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Involved in melanosome transport. May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation.,online information:MYO5A mutation db,similarity:Contains 1 dilute domain.,similarity:Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.,similarity:Contains 6 IQ domains.,subunit:May be a homodimer, which associates with multiple calmodulin or myosin light chains. Binds MLPH and MYRIP.,tissue specificity:Detected in melanocytes.,
