Myosin Light Chains

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: The smaller subunits of MYOSINS that bind near the head groups of MYOSIN HEAVY CHAINS. The myosin light chains have a molecular weight of about 20 KDa and there are usually one essential and one regulatory pair of light chains associated with each heavy chain. Many myosin light chains that bind calcium are considered "calmodulin-like" proteins.      Other names Light Chains, Myosin; Light Chain, Myosin; Myosin Regulatory Light Chains; Myosin Regulatory Light Chain; Myosin Light Chain; Myosin Essential Light Chains; Myosin Essential Light Chain; Myosin Alkali Light Chain; Myosin Alkali Light Chains
