Abstract excerpt
Non-muscle myosin (NMII) motor proteins have diverse developmental functions due to their roles in cell shape changes, cell migration, and cell adhesion. Zebrafish are an ideal vertebrate model system to study the NMII encoding myh genes and proteins due to high sequence homology, established gene editing tools, and rapid ex utero development. In humans, mutations in the NMII encoding MYH genes can lead to...
