Functiondisease:Defects in MYO6 are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 22 (DFNA22) [MIM:606346]. DFNA22 is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. DFNA22 is progressive and postlingual, with onset during childhood. By the age of approximately 50 years, affected individuals invariably have profound sensorineural deafness.,disease:Defects in MYO6 are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 37 (DFNB37) [MIM:607821].,disease:Defects in MYO6 are the cause of sensorineural deafness with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (DFNHCM) [MIM:606346].,domain:Divided into three regions: a N-terminal motor (head) domain, followed by a neck domain consisting of a calmodulin-b
Subcellular LocationGolgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein . Golgi apparatus . Nucleus . Cytoplasm, perinuclear region . Membrane, clathrin-coated pit . Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle . Cell projection, filopodium . Cell projection, ruffle membrane . Cell projection, microvillus . Cytoplasm, cytosol . Also present in endocyctic vesicles (PubMed:16507995). Translocates from membrane ruffles, endocytic vesicles and cytoplasm to Golgi apparatus, perinuclear membrane and nucleus through induction by p53 and p53-induced DNA damage (PubMed:16507995). Recruited into membrane ruffles from cell surface by EGF-stimulation (PubMed:9852149). Colocalizes with DAB2 in clathrin-coated pits/vesicles (PubMed:11967127). Colocalizes with OPTN at the Golgi complex and in vesicul
ExpressionExpressed in most tissues examined including heart, brain, placenta, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. Highest levels in brain, pancreas, testis and small intestine. Also expressed in fetal brain and cochlea. Isoform 1 and isoform 2, containing the small insert, and isoform 4, containing neither insert, are expressed in unpolarized epithelial cells.
