Myosin Light Chain

Myosin light chain is a subunit of myosin

Myosin light chains are distinct and have their own properties, distinct from the heavy chains. They are not considered "myosins" but are components of the macromolecular complexes that make up the functional myosin enzymes.

  • Light chain: MYL1, MYL2, MYL3, MYL4, MYL5, MYL6, MYL6B, MYL7, MYL9, MYLIP, MYLK, MYLK2, MYLL1

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chain:

    “For all this sea-hoard of deciduous things,
    Strange woods half sodden, and new brighter stuff:
    In the slow float of differing light and deep,
    No! there is nothing! In the whole and all,
    Nothing that’s quite your own.
    Yet this is you.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world—and never will.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
