Myl6 - myosin, light polypeptide 6, alkali, smooth muscle and non-muscle Gene

Also Known as LC17; Myln; ESMLC; MLC-3; MLC1SM; LC17-GI

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 17904

Summary

Predicted to be a structural constituent of muscle. Predicted to be involved in muscle filament sliding and skeletal muscle tissue development. Part of unconventional Myosin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human MYL6 (Myosin light chain 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
