MeSH definition : A subclass of myosins found generally associated with actin-rich membrane structures
such as filopodia. Members of the myosin type I family are ubiquitously expressed
in eukaryotes. The heavy chains of myosin type I lack coiled-coil forming sequences
in their tails and therefore do not dimerize.;
MeSH synonym : myosin i;
MeSH hyponym : myosin IA; myosin IB;
MeSH Related Number : myosin IB; myosin IA;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 3.6.1.-;
Related CAS MeSH : EC 3.6.1.- (Myosin IB); EC 3.6.1.- (Myosin IA);
