MYO10

Myosin X, also known as MYO10, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYO10 gene.

Myosin X is an actin-based motor protein known to associate at the tips of filopodia.

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of MYO10 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Myo10^{tm2(KOMP)Wtsi} was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping
