MYO1E encodes a member of the nonmuscle class I myosins which are a subgroup of the unconventional myosin protein family. The unconventional myosin proteins function as actin-based molecular motors. Class I myosins are characterized by a head (motor) domain, a regulatory domain and a either a short or long tail domain. Among the class I myosins, Myosin-Ie is distinguished by a long tail domain that is involved in crosslinking actin filaments. Myosin-Ie localizes to the cytoplasm and may be involved in intracellular movement and membrane trafficking. Mutations in MYO1E are the cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis-6. MYO1E has been referred to as myosin IC in the literature but is distinct from the myosin IC gene located on chromosome 17.
