Gene information for MYL12B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID103910
Official gene symbolMYL12B
Full namemyosin, light chain 12B, regulatory
Aliases,MLC-B,MRLC2,
Gene summaryThe activity of nonmuscle myosin II (see MYH9; MIM 160775) is regulated by phosphorylation of a regulatory light chain, such as MRLC2. This phosphorylation results in higher MgATPase activity and the assembly of myosin II filaments (Iwasaki et al., 2001 [PubMed 11942626]).[supplied by OMIM]
