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),
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.
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 polypeptide 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL6 gene. [5] [6] [7] [8]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 regulatory light chain 2, ventricular/cardiac muscle isoform (MLC-2) also known as the regulatory light chain of myosin (RLC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL2 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] This cardiac ventricular RLC isoform is distinct from that expressed in skeletal muscle ( MYLPF ), smooth muscle ( MYL12B ) and cardiac atrial ...

Cardiac, ventricular ELC is 21.9 kDa and composed of 195 amino acids (See human MYL3 sequences features here Archived 2015-09-24 at the Wayback Machine).Cardiac ELC and the second light chain, regulatory light chain (RLC, MYL2), are non-covalently bound to IQXXXRGXXXR motifs in the 9 nm S1-S2 lever arm of the myosin head, [8] both alpha and beta isoforms.
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.
