MYO5A

Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Can hydrolyze ATP in the presence of actin, which is essential for its function as a motor protein. Involved in melanosome transport. Also mediates the transport of vesicles to the plasma membrane (By similarity). May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation (By similarity)..
