Background: |
YLK3 (Myosin light chain kinase 3) is a 795 amino acid cardiac-specific protein that contains one protein kinase domain and belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Like other MYLK kinases, MYLK3 is thought to play a role in smooth muscle contraction, specifically using magnesium as a cofactor to catalyze the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of Myosin light chain proteins. Additionally, MYLK3 may regulate sarcomere assembly in heart tissue, possibly mediating proper heart function. |
