    Function

    Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity. Unconventional myosins serve in intracellular movements. Their highly divergent tails bind to membranous compartments, which are then moved relative to actin filaments. In the retina, plays an important role in the renewal of the outer photoreceptor disks. Plays an important role in the distribution and migration of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) melanosomes and phagosomes, and in the regulation of opsin transport in retinal photoreceptors. In the inner ear, plays an important role in differentiation, morphogenesis and organization of cochlear hair cell bundles. Involved in hair-cell vesicle trafficking of aminoglycosides, which are known to induce ototoxicity (By similarity). Motor protein that is a part of the functional network formed by USH1C, USH1G, CDH23 and MYO7A that mediates mechanotransduction in cochlear hair cells. Required for normal hearing.

    Notes

    ab248957 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Myosin VIIa/MYO7A antibody [EPR7497] ab150386.

    Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

    This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

    • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
    • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
    • - Long-term security of supply
    • - Animal-free batch production

    For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

    Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

    This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

    Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

    This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

    Supplementary info

    Activity summary

    Myosin VIIa also known as MYO7A or myosin 7a is a motor protein that plays an important role in cellular transport and movement. It belongs to the myosin superfamily and has a molecular mass of approximately 250 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in sensory cells especially in the inner ear and the retina. In reproductive tissues it aids in sperm tail movements. The mechanical function of MYO7A involves ATP-dependent interactions with actin filaments leading to motor activity and cargo transport within cells.

    Biological function summary

    Myosin VIIa is essential for the maintenance of stereocilia structure and function in the sensory hair cells of the cochlea. It forms part of a multiprotein complex that stabilizes the actin filaments contributing to auditory signal transduction. Furthermore it is critical in the retinal pigment epithelium for normal visual processes. The protein ensures the correct intracellular localization of key components affecting cell signaling and environmental responsiveness.

    Pathways

    Myosin VIIa is involved in both auditory and visual signal pathways key for sensory perception. In the auditory pathway it interacts with harmonin and cadherin 23 which also play a part in mechanotransduction. In the visual pathway it affects signaling processes that rely on precise positioning of visual pigments. These interactions highlight its role in maintaining proper sensory functions in complex signaling pathways.

    Associated diseases and disorders

    Mutations in MYO7A can lead to conditions such as Usher syndrome type 1B and nonsyndromic deafness. Usher syndrome is characterized by combined deafness and vision loss due to retinal degeneration. Non-syndromic hearing loss involves hearing impairment without other clinical disabilities. Both disorders demonstrate the critical importance of myosin VIIa in auditory and visual neurons. Connections between MYO7A and cadherin proteins further implicate these pathways in disease pathology.
