Myo16 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables actin filament binding activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in cerebellum development; negative regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; and negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in nucleoplasm; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and plasma membrane. Part of myosin complex. Orthologous to human MYO16 (myosin XVI). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Myo16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
