Unconventional myosin-VIIb (MYO7B)

Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Their highly divergent tails are presumed to bind to membranous compartments, which would be moved relative to actin filaments.

As part of the intermicrovillar adhesion complex/IMAC plays a role in epithelial brush border differentiation, controlling microvilli business and length. May link the complex to the actin core bundle of microvilli (Probable).
