General description
Myosin-VI has been found in the membrane ruffles at the leading edge of the Golgi complex. Myosin-VI moves along the actin in the opposite way of other known myosins to date, toward the minus end. It can exist as a dimer and a monomer and is thought to function as a non-processive motor with a 18nm working stroke. Myosin-VI has also been found in the brain, specifically the synapses. Myosin-VI deficiency (Snell’s waltzer disease) in the hippocampus causes a smaller number of synapses, short dendritic spines and astrogliosis. Myosin-VI may also be important in clathrin-mediated endocytosis of acid-type glutamate receptors. Recent research has implicated myosin-VI in the enrichment of proteins on the surface of axons.
