Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Unconventional myosin-XV is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theMYO15A gene .[ 5] [ 6]
Read-through transcript containing anupstream gene and this gene have been identified, but they are not thought to encode afusion protein . Severalalternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequences have not been determined.[ 6]
This gene encodes an unconventionalmyosin . This protein differs from other myosins in that it has a longN-terminal extension preceding the conserved motor domain. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is necessary foractin organization in thehair cells of thecochlea .[ 6]
Clinical significance [ edit ] Mutations in this gene have been associated with profound,congenital ,neurosensory ,nonsyndromic deafness .[ 7] Smith–Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.[ 6]
