A motor-dead point mutation in NMII-B (MYH10) expressed at wild-type levels causes a dominant-negative effect by prolonging cross-linking of NMII-B to actin filaments, thereby interfering with actomyosin cytoskeletal dynamics. This gain-of-function (not loss-of-function) disrupts ventral body wall closure, midline fusion, and outflow tract myocardialization—phenotypes not seen in null or hypomorphic mice—demonstrating that NMII-B motor activity is required to disassemble actomyosin cross-links and drive myocyte cell-cell adhesion remodeling. |

MYH10 is required for centriole migration to the apical plasma membrane at the onset of primary ciliogenesis. Knockdown of MYH10 in RPE1 cells reduces cortical filamentous actin (F-actin) and its binding protein EZRIN, impairs centriole migration, and blocks subsequent cilium assembly. MYH10 also influences centrosomal recruitment of IFT88 (required for intraflagellar transport), with IFT88 levels correlating with centriolar position along the apical-basal axis. |

Loss of MYH10 in lung mesenchymal cells results in decreased Thrombospondin expression, increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, and disrupted extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, causing ECM deposition defects and alveolar simplification. These effects were demonstrated both in Myh10 mutant lungs in vivo and in cultured mutant fibroblasts. |

NMHC IIB (MYH10) is required for epicardial cell function: a point mutation in the Myh10 splice donor site causes abnormal epicardial cell morphology, reduced capacity for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and impaired migration of epicardial-derived cells (EPDCs) into the myocardium, thereby disrupting coronary vessel formation. |

Conditional knockout of both Myh9 and Myh10 in adult renal tubular epithelium causes intracellular accumulation of the GPI-anchored protein uromodulin (UMOD) and loss of Na+K+2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC2) from the apical membrane of thick ascending limb epithelia. UMOD accumulation coincides with expansion of ER tubules and activation of ER stress/unfolded protein response pathways, establishing that MYH9 and MYH10 are required for localization and intracellular transport of UMOD. |

Maternal-zygotic loss of Myh10 (NMHC II-B) alone causes only mild preimplantation phenotypes, whereas double maternal-zygotic loss of both Myh9 and Myh10 causes near-complete cytokinesis failure, demonstrating that MYH9 is the dominant non-muscle myosin II during mouse preimplantation development but that MYH10 provides redundant contractility for cytokinesis. |

GATA1 directly represses MYH10 transcription during megakaryopoiesis via two binding sites in the MYH10 gene (one in the 3' UTR and one in intron 8), as shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and luciferase reporter assays. GATA1 pathogenic variants impair intron 8-driven MYH10 transcriptional silencing, leading to elevated MYH10 levels that are associated with a polyploidization defect in megakaryocytes. |

MYH10 forms a complex with GLUT4 in adipocytes, an interaction regulated by insulin induction. MYH10 depletion in preadipocytes impairs adipogenesis and blocks GLUT4 translocation. PKCζ interacts with MYH10 to modify the localization and interaction of both GLUT4 and MYH10. Restoration of GLUT4 vesicle supply via co-culture rescues the adipogenic defect in MYH10 knockdown cells. |

MYH10 protein interacts directly with MYH9 (non-muscle myosin IIA) via its functional domain, and this complex recruits the deubiquitinating enzyme USP45, which deubiquitinates Snail to inhibit its proteasomal degradation. This MYH10-MYH9-USP45-Snail axis promotes EMT, migration, invasion, and cisplatin resistance in serous ovarian cancer cells. |

MYH10 binds and recruits autophagy receptor proteins during autophagosome formation induced by mutant CHMP2B or nutrient starvation. MYH10 also interacts with ESCRT-III subunits to regulate phagophore closure by recruiting ESCRT-III to damaged mitochondria during PRKN/parkin-mediated mitophagy. Partial knockdown of MYH10 rescues neurodegeneration in Drosophila and human iPSC-derived cortical neurons expressing FTD-associated mutant CHMP2B. |

In arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy caused by PKP2 C-terminal domain deletion mutations, PKP2 delocalization disrupts actomyosin network organization. Overexpression of MYH10 rescues actomyosin disorganization in mutant PKP2 cells, while expression of a dominant-negative MYH10 mutant mimics the pathogenic PKP2 CT-deletion phenotype (actin network abnormalities and right ventricle systolic dysfunction). The non-muscle myosin activator 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4-HAP) also restores normal contractility. |

In CFAP57 mutant sperm, MYH10 is mislocalized to the mid-piece region and absent from the principal and end pieces, causing downstream mislocalization of IFT88 and defective flagellar assembly (MMAF phenotype). |

In zebrafish, myh10 expression requires myh9b: myh9b null mutants show reduced myh10 expression, while myh10 null mutants show reduced myh9b expression, establishing reciprocal transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulatory interactions between myh9b and myh10 during development. Double myh9a/myh10 or myh9b/myh10 mutants display more severe phenotypes than single mutants at earlier time points, indicating tissue-specific genetic redundancy. |
