Abstract excerpt
Myosin X (Myo10), an actin-associated molecular motor, has a clear role in filopodia induction and cell migration in vitro, but its role in vivo in mammals is not well understood. Here, we investigate the role of Myo10 in melanocyte lineage and melanoma induction. We found that Myo10 knockout (Myo10KO) mice exhibit a white spot on their belly caused by reduced melanoblast migration. Myo10KO mice crossed with...
