Full name: myosin, light polypeptide 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: MLC1f; MLC3f; Mylf

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.
