Absence of platelet phenotype in mice lacking the motor protein myosin Va.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Harper Matthew T, van den Bosch Marion T J, Hers Ingeborg, Poole Alastair W

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The motor protein myosin Va plays an important role in the trafficking of intracellular vesicles. Mutation of the Myo5a gene causes Griscelli syndrome type 1 in humans and the dilute phenotype in mice, which are both characterised by pigment dilution and neurological defects as a result of impaired vesicle transport in melanocytes and neuroendocrine cells. The role of myosin Va in platelets is...
