Myosin light chain 3: Proteins and Enzymes

Myosin light chain 3, or MYL3 for short, consists of a 195 amino acid isoform that is 22 kDa, and is involved in the regulation of Myosin, which is a protein that conducts ATP hydrolysis. Current research is being conducted on the relationship between Myosin light chain 3 and a multitude of diseases and disorders, including familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, restrictive cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, diabetes mellitus, and renal failure. Myosin light chain 3 has been linked to the RhoA pathway, as well as PKA signaling, growth cone motility, cell adhesion, cardiac muscle contraction, and cytoskeleton remodeling. The protein interacts with YWHAQ, MYH13, YWHAZ, MYH9, and MYH7.
