Synonyms | MLC2, MRLC1, MYRL2 |
Function | Myosin regulatory subunit that plays an important role in regulation of both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cell contractile activity via its phosphorylation. Implicated in cytokinesis, receptor capping, and cell locomotion (PubMed:11942626, PubMed:2526655). In myoblasts, may regulate PIEZO1-dependent cortical actomyosin assembly involved in myotube formation (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQ19}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQ19}. Note=Colocalizes with F-actin, MYH9 and PIEZO1 at the actomyosin cortex in myoblasts {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CQ19} |
Tissue Location | Smooth muscle tissues and in some, but not all, nonmuscle cells. |

Background
Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of twoheavy chains and four light chains. The protein encoded by thisgene is a myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contractionby modulating the ATPase activity of myosin heads. The encodedprotein binds calcium and is activated by myosin light chainkinase. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms havebeen found for this gene.
