MYL4 - myosin light chain 4 Gene
Also Known as GT1; ALC1; AMLC; PRO1957
Species: Homo sapiens
About MYL4
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 290 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward heart (RPKM 587.0).
Summary
Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. It is composed of two Myosin heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable Myosin alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable Myosin regulatory light chains. This gene encodes a Myosin alkali light chain that is found in embryonic muscle and adult atria. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
