Myosin light chain 2 (MLC2), also known as myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC), RLC, or LC20, has many isoforms depending on its distribution. In smooth muscle, MLC2 is phosphorylated at Thr18 and Ser19 by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in a Ca \/calmodulin-dependent manner (1). This phosphorylation is correlated with myosin ATPase activity and smooth muscle contraction (2). ROCK also phosphorylates Ser19 of smooth muscle MLC2, which regulates the assembly of stress fibers (3). Phosphorylation of smooth muscle MLC2 at Ser1\/Ser2 and Ser9 by PKC and cdc2 has been reported to inhibit myosin ATPase activity (4,5). Phosphorylation by cdc2 controls the timing of cytokinesis (5). Transgenic mice lacking phosphorylation sites on the cardiac muscle isoform show morphological and functional abnormalities (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n20 kDa myosin light chain; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; LC20; MGC3505; MLC-2C; MLC2; MRLC1; MYL9; myosin light chain 9; myosin regulatory light chain 1; Myosin regulatory light chain 2, smooth muscle isoform; Myosin regulatory light chain 9; Myosin regulatory light chain MRLC1; Myosin regulatory light polypeptide 9; Myosin RLC; myosin, light chain 9, regulatory; myosin, light polypeptide 9, regulatory; MYRL2\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 18\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799948447913,"sku":"8505S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-8505s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
