Myosin-Va is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYO5A gene.[1][2][3]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of MYO5A function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Myo5atm1e(KOMP)Wtsi[9][10] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[11][12][13]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[7][14] Twenty five tests were carried out on mutant mice and three significant abnormalities were observed.[7] Male homozygous mutants had abnormal hair cycles, coat colouration and an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.[7]

Interactions

MYO5A has been shown to interact with DYNLL1,[15] RAB27A[16][17] and DYNLL2.[15][18]

Clinical significance

Defects are associated with Griscelli syndrome type 1, also known as Elejalde syndrome.
