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:

    “Lift your eyes
    Where the roads dip and where the roads rise
    Seek only there
    Where the grey light meets the green air
    The hermit’s chapel, the pilgrim’s prayer.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “To avoid tripping on the chain of the past, you have to pick it up and wind it about you.”
