Abstract excerpt
Class III myosins are actin-based motors with amino-terminal kinase domains. Expression of these motors is highly enhanced in retinal photoreceptors. As mutations in the gene encoding NINAC, a Drosophila melanogaster class III myosin, cause retinal degeneration, human homologs of this gene are potential candidates for human retinal disease. We have recently reported the cloning of MYO3A, a human myosin III...
