Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MLC-BMRLC2
Chromosome 18
Chromosome location 18p11.31
Summary The activity of nonmuscle myosin II (see MYH9; MIM 160775) is regulated by phosphorylation of a regulatory light chain, such as MRLC2. This phosphorylation results in higher MgATPase activity and the assembly of myosin II filaments (Iwasaki et al., 2001 [
