Welcome to Myosin !

Myosins are molecular motors that can convert adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released chemical energy into physical motion. They can carry various intracellular cargos including membranous, organelles, protein complexes, and mRNAs. Myosins usually have three parts, ATP-dependent motor domain was the first part and located in the top of protein. A neck domain with IQ motifs in different quantities which can bind protein-like calmodulin or light chain was in the middle, and a tail dominant may bind different “cargo” was in the end. Myosin plays key roles in muscle composition and various cellular activities, including cytokinesis, organelle transport, cell polarization, intracellular transport and signal transduction.
