Myosin VI, also known as MYO6, is a protein. It has been found in humans, mice, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), and nematodes (C Elegans.)
Myosin VI is a molecular motor involved in intracellular vesicle and organelle transport. It is one of the so-called unconventional myosins.[supplied by OMIM][1]
