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:

    “Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “From Nature’s chain whatever link you strike,
    Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
