Atoms in the heavy chain are colored red on the left-hand side, and atoms in the light chains are colored orange and yellow. A myosin light chain is a light chain (small polypeptide subunit) of myosin . [ 1 ]
In smooth muscle, a single gene [20]) codes for the heavy chains myosin II, but splice variants of this gene result in four distinct isoforms. [19] It also contains 4 myosin light chains (MLC), resulting in 2 per head, weighing 20 (MLC 20) and 17 (MLC 17) kDa. [19] These bind the heavy chains in the "neck" region between the head and tail.
Myosin light chain 6B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL6B gene. [5] [6] [7] Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein.It is composed of two heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains.

Myosin-1, also known as 'striated muscle myosin heavy chain 1', is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH1 gene. [5] [6] This gene is most highly expressed in fast type IIX/D muscle fibres of vertebrates and encodes a protein found uniquely in striated muscle; it is a class II myosin with a long coiled coil tail that dimerizes and should not be confused with 'Myosin 1' encoded by the ...
Myosin light chain 3, skeletal muscle isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL1 gene. [5] [6] [7]Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. It is composed of two heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains.
Myosin II is an elongated protein that is formed from two heavy chains with motor heads and two light chains. Each myosin head contains actin and ATP binding site. The myosin heads bind and hydrolyze ATP, which provides the energy to walk toward the plus end of an actin filament. Myosin II are also vital in the process of cell division. For ...
MYH7 is a gene encoding a myosin heavy chain beta (MHC-β) isoform (slow twitch) expressed primarily in the heart, but also in skeletal muscles (type I fibers). [5] This isoform is distinct from the fast isoform of cardiac myosin heavy chain, MYH6, referred to as MHC-α.
