|
| Function |
Implicated in the level of global muscle contraction and cardiac function. Phosphorylates a specific serine in the N- terminus of a myosin light chain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11733062}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Note=Colocalizes with phosphorylated myosin light chain (RLCP) at filaments of the myofibrils.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Heart and skeletal muscles. Increased expression in the apical tissue compared to the interventricular septal tissue.
|
| Top Pathways |
Focal adhesion, Calcium signaling pathway, Vascular smooth muscle contraction, Gastric acid secretion, Oxytocin signaling pathway
