The gene MYO10 (unconventional myosin-10) is mapped to human chromosome 5p15.1. It belongs to the MyTH4-FERM (myosin tail homology 4-band 4.1, ezrin, radixin, moesin, or MF) family of myosins. The protein has a myosin motor domain, a neck consisting of three IQ motifs and a tail region with three pleckstrin homology domains.

Biochem Physiol Actions: MYO10 (unconventional myosin-10) is a microtubule-binding myosin. It is essential for centrosome positioning. It is a target gene for microRNA miR-340. In breast cancer, miR-340 inhibits invasion by silencing MYO10, which is responsible for aggressiveness and metastasis in breast cancer. The MYO10 gene is also a direct target of miR-124. Silencing of this gene suppresses cell invasion and metastasis in node-positive non-small cell lung cancer. MYO10 also plays a significant role in wound healing, invadopodia formation and angiogenesis.
