Myosin 15 is a molecular motor protein, so called because it can move around within a cell. Scientists believe that myosin 15 helps to build stereocilia by supplying them with components for assembly, much like a delivery truck. But the molecular structure of myosin 15 and how it functions in stereocilia assembly is still unclear. To gain a better understanding of how myosin 15 works, the researchers set out to produce and purify the protein.
