Gene information for MYL2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4633
Official gene symbolMYL2
Full namemyosin, light chain 2, regulatory, cardiac, slow
Aliases,CMH10,DKFZp779C0562,MLC2,
Gene summaryThus gene encodes the regulatory light chain associated with cardiac myosin beta (or slow) heavy chain. Ca+ triggers the phosphorylation of regulatory light chain that in turn triggers contraction. Mutations in this gene are associated with mid-left ventricular chamber type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
