MYL6B
Myosin light chain
6B
is a
protein
that in
humans
is
encoded
by the
MYL6B
gene
.
Myosin
is a
hexameric
ATPase
cellular
motor protein
. It is
composed of
two
heavy
chains
, two
nonphosphorylatable
alkali
light chains
, and two phosphorylatable
regulatory
light
chains. This gene encodes a
myosin
alkali
light chain
expressed
in both slow-twitch
skeletal muscle
and in nonmuscle
tissue
.
