Summary
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and actin monomer binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle contraction; positive regulation of ATPase activity; and regulation of the force of heart contraction. Predicted to be located in A band. Predicted to be part of myosin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; great vessel of heart; heart; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy and familial atrial fibrillation. Orthologous to human MYL4 (myosin light chain 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
