MYL1

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Myosin light chain 3, skeletal muscle isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL1 gene.[1][2][3]

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. This gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain expressed in fast skeletal muscle. Two transcript variants have been identified for this gene.[3]
