Myo3b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable microfilament motor activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including inner ear morphogenesis; positive regulation of filopodium assembly; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to act upstream of or within peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation; and protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to be located in photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Predicted to be active in filopodium tip; photoreceptor inner segment; and stereocilium tip. Orthologous to human MYO3B (myosin IIIB).

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 Myo3b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
