Gene information for MYL9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10398
Official gene symbolMYL9
Full namemyosin, light chain 9, regulatory
Aliases,LC20,MGC3505,MLC2,MRLC1,MYRL2,
Gene summaryMyosin, 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. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
