Myosin-Vb is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYO5B gene.
Recent evidence suggests that Myosin VB is related to the creation of memories by actin-dependent trafficking of AMPA receptor containing recycling endosomes in dendritic spines.
Mutations of MYO5B cause microvillus inclusion disease and have been associated with bipolar disorder.
