GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MYL12B (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MRLC2
Description
Myosin, light chain 12B, regulatory (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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 [PubMed 11942626]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
