  2. Myosin light chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin_light_chain

    Structurally, myosin light chains belong to the EF-hand family, a large family of Ca 2+ - binding proteins. MLCs contain two Ca 2+ - binding EF-hand motifs. MLCs isoforms modulate the Ca 2+ of force transduction and cross-bridge kinetics. Myosin light chains (MLCs) can be broadly classified into two groups: Essential or alkali MLC (MLC1 or ELC),

  3. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

    IgD and IgE myeloma are very rare. In addition, light and or heavy chains (the building blocks of antibodies) may be secreted in isolation: κ- or λ-light chains or any of the five types of heavy chains (α-, γ-, δ-, ε- or μ-heavy chains). People without evidence of a monoclonal protein may have "nonsecretory" myeloma (not producing ...

  4. AL amyloidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AL_amyloidosis

    AL amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of abnormal antibody free light chains. The abnormal light chains are produced by monoclonal plasma cells, and, although AL amyloidosis can occur without diagnosis of another disorder, it is often associated with other plasma cell disorders, such as multiple myeloma and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. [6]

  5. Monoclonal gammopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_gammopathy

    Monoclonal gammopathy, also known as paraproteinemia, is the presence of excessive amounts of myeloma protein or monoclonal gamma globulin in the blood. It is usually due to an underlying immunoproliferative disorder or hematologic neoplasms, especially multiple myeloma. It is sometimes considered equivalent to plasma cell dyscrasia.

  6. Myosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

    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.

  7. MYL1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYL1

    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.

  8. MYL9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYL9

    Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of two heavy chains and four light chains. The protein encoded by this gene is a myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contraction by modulating the ATPase activity of myosin heads. The encoded protein binds calcium and is activated by myosin light chain kinase.

  9. Myosin light-chain kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin_light-chain_kinase

    Myosin light chain pulls the actin stress fiber attached to the cadherin, resisting the force of the adjacent cell's cadherin. However, when the inward pulling force of the actin stress fiber becomes greater than the outward pulling force of the cell adhesion molecules due to an overactive MYLK, tissues can become slightly pulled apart and ...
