Recent evidence suggests that Myosin-Vb is related to the creation of memories[9] by actin-dependent trafficking of AMPA receptor containing recycling endosomes in dendritic spines.[10]
Mutations of MYO5B cause microvillus inclusion disease due to defective trafficking of apical and basolateral proteins.[8]
MYO5B has also been associated with bipolar disorder.[11]
