Function Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping. Promotes also cell motility together with S100A4 (PubMed:16707441). During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contacts formation (in the margins but not the central part of spreading cells), and lamellipodial retraction; this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH10 (PubMed:20052411).
