Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Their highly divergent tails are presumed to bind to membranous compartments, which would be moved relative to actin filaments. Involved in glucose transporter recycling in response to insulin by regulating movement of intracellular GLUT4-containing vesicles to the plasma membrane. Component of the hair cell's (the sensory cells of the inner ear) adaptation-motor complex. Acts as a mediator of adaptation of mechanoelectrical transduction in stereocilia of vestibular hair cells. Binds phosphoinositides and links the actin cytoskeleton to cellular membranes (By similarity). Interacts (via its IQ motifs) with CALM; this precludes interaction with YWHAB. Interacts with YWHAB; this precludes interaction with CALM. Interacts with RPS6 and actin. Interacts (via its IQ motifs) with CABP1 and CIB1; the interaction with CABP1 and CIB1 is calcium-dependent. Interacts (via tail domain) with PLEKHB1 (via PH domain); the interaction is not affected by the presence or absence of calcium and CALM. Interacts with BAZ1B, SMARCA5, POLR1A and POLR2A. Component of the B-WICH complex, at least composed of SMARCA5/SNF2H, BAZ1B/WSTF, SF3B1, DEK, MYO1C, ERCC6, MYBBP1A and DDX21 (By similarity). Interacts with GLUT4. Interacts with LLPH (By similarity). Colocalizes with CABP1 and CIB1 at cell margin, membrane ruffles and punctate regions on the cell membrane. Colocalizes in adipocytes with GLUT4 at actin-based membranes. Colocalizes with GLUT4 at insulin-induced ruffles at the cell membrane. Localizes transiently at cell membrane to region known to be enriched in PIP2. Activation of phospholipase C results in its redistribution to the cytoplasm (By similarity). Binds directly to large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) containing phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). The PIP2-binding site corresponds to a putative PH domain present in its tail domain (By similarity). Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family. Represents an unconventional myosin. This protein should not be confused with the conventional myosin-1 (MYH1).
