SummarySummary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a nonsarcomeric myosin regulatory light chain. This protein is activated by phosphorylation and regulates smooth muscle and non-muscle cell contraction. This protein may also be involved in DNA damage repair by sequestering the transcriptional regulator apoptosis-antagonizing transcription factor (AATF)/Che-1 which functions as a repressor of p53-driven apoptosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 8.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

Protein name Myosin regulatory light chain 12A (Epididymis secretory protein Li 24) (HEL-S-24) (MLC-2B) (Myosin RLC) (Myosin regulatory light chain 2, nonsarcomeric) (Myosin regulatory light chain MRLC3)
Protein 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 (By similarity).
UniProt ID O14950
Protein name Myosin regulatory light chain 12B (MLC-2A) (MLC-2) (Myosin regulatory light chain 2-B, smooth muscle isoform) (Myosin regulatory light chain 20 kDa) (MLC20) (Myosin regulatory light chain MRLC2) (SHUJUN-1)
Protein function Myosin regulatory subunit that plays an important role in regulation of both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cell contractile activity via its phosphorylation. Phosphorylation triggers actin polymerization in vascular smooth muscle. Implicated in cytokinesis, receptor capping, and cell locomotion.
