Summary | Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. It is composed of two heavy chains, two non-phosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. This gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain expressed in fast skeletal muscle. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.
