Article Synopsis
- Myosin-V plays a key role in transporting organelles and vesicles in various eukaryotic cells, from yeast to humans.
- FACS analysis revealed that peripheral blood mononuclear cells express myosin-V with similar fluorescence intensity, while confocal microscopy showed significant localization of myosin-V in the centrosomal region and throughout the cytoplasm.
- The study indicates that myosin-V is likely involved in immune response functions, as its expression increases with T-lymphocyte activation and is associated with MHC class II molecules.
