Myosin VI is a myosin superfamily member with unique and intriguing features that allow it to fill a still-expanding number of cell biological roles. This actin-based motor produces force that acts towards the minus end of actin filaments, which is the opposite direction to all other characterized myosins.nnIn mammalian cells, myosin VI is localized to endocytic vesicles, membrane ruffles, the cytosol and the Golgi complex. Its motor function is essential for several physiological functions of the cell, including normal rates of endocytosis, maintenance of Golgi morphology and protein secretion. Myosin VI regulates epithelial cell migration and plays a role in the maintenance of adhesive cellular contacts within epithelial cell layers. It is highly expressed in ovarian cancers and prostate cancers and its expression level, which is upregulated by DNA damage in a p53-dependent manner, correlates with the potential of the tumor to disseminate. nnMore recently, myosin VI has been found involved in EGFR endocytosis through a clathrin dependent mechanism.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 μL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 μL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
