2009, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :While no motor activity has been demonstrated for the two invertebrate class III myosins that have been studied (Hicks et al., 1996; Kempler et al., 2007), vertebrate class III myosins are molecular motors (Erickson et al., 2003; Komaba et al., 2003; Kambara et al., 2006; Dosé et al., 2007). Class III myosin transcripts have been detected in a variety of vertebrate tissues including retina, cochlea, brain, kidney, testes, intestine and pancreas (Dosé and Burnside, 2000, 2002; Walsh et al., 2002; Dosé et al., 2003). Although their specific functions are largely unknown and may differ in different cell types, much evidence suggests class III myosins are important for the normal function and maintenance of sensory cells.
