GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

MYL4 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

ALC1, AMLC, GT1, PRO1957

Description

Myosin, light chain 4, alkali; atrial, embryonic (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. It is composed of two myosin heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable myosin alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable myosin regulatory light chains. This gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain that is found in embryonic muscle and adult atria. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
