The gene was identified after the mouse shaker-1 gene, which localizes to a homologous chromosomal region, was identified as encoding myosin VII.

Expression in cochlea and retina of myosin VIIa, the gene product defective in Usher syndrome type 1B. of outstanding interest Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 92:1995;9815-9819 Myosin VIIa is shown to be expressed in sensory hair cells of the mature cochlea, but is not detected in supporting cells. Furthermore, within the retina, the greatest level of expression occurs in the pigmented retinal epithelium, suggesting this structure might be involved in the progressive retinitis pigmentosa seen in humans with Usher syndrome type 1B, who have mutations in the myosin VIIa gene.
