What is the function of this protein?
Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping.  Required for cortical actin clearance prior to oocyte exocytosis (By similarity).  Promotes cell motility in conjunction with S100A4 (PubMed:16707441).  During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contact formation (in the margins but not the central part of spreading cells), and lamellipodial retraction; this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH10 (PubMed:20052411).
What are the official names of this protein?
Myosin-9, Cellular myosin heavy chain, type A, Myosin heavy chain 9, Myosin heavy chain, non-muscle IIa, Non-muscle myosin heavy chain A, NMMHC-A, Non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIa, NMMHC II-a, NMMHC-IIA.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, Cortical granule. Note=Colocalizes with actin filaments at lamellipodia margins and at the leading edge of migrating cells (PubMed:20052411). In retinal pigment epithelial cells, predominantly localized to stress fiber-like structures with some localization to cytoplasmic puncta (PubMed:27331610).
