MYO5A myosin VA

ENSG00000197535 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Can hydrolyze ATP in the presence of actin, which is essential for its function as a motor protein (PubMed:10448864). Involved in melanosome transport. Also mediates the transport of vesicles to the plasma membrane (By similarity). May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99104, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QYF3, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10448864}.

In 15 of 15 cancers, the evidence for MYO5A comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.3924199938774109 (upper bound 0.4641599953174591). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs
