MYL12A - myosin light chain 12A Gene
Also Known as MLCB; MRCL3; MRLC3; MYL2B; MLC-2B; HEL-S-24
Species: Homo sapiens
About MYL12A
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 240 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Broad expression in heart (RPKM 774.2), lung (RPKM 179.0) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
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]
