Abstract

The motor protein myosin Va is involved in multiple successive steps in the development of dense-core vesicles, such as in the membrane remodelling during their maturation, their transport along actin filaments and the regulation of their exocytosis. In the present paper, we summarize the current knowledge on the roles of myosin Va in the different steps of dense-core vesicle biogenesis and exocytosis, and compare findings obtained from different cell types and experimental systems.
