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.
Interactions
MYO5B has been shown to interact with RAB11FIP2.
