UniProtKB description:  Processive actin-based motor that can move in large steps approximating the 36-nm pseudo-repeat of the actin filament. Can hydrolyze ATP in the presence of actin, which is essential for its function as a motor protein (By similarity). Involved in melanosome transport (PubMed:1996138). Also mediates the transport of vesicles to the plasma membrane (PubMed:22908308). May also be required for some polarization process involved in dendrite formation (By similarity).
