Gene Name: myosin, light polypeptide 2, regulatory, cardiac, slow
Symbol:
Description: MYL2 encodes the regulatory light chain associated with cardiac myosin beta (or slow) heavy chain. Ca+ triggers the phosphorylation of regulatory light chain that in turn triggers contraction. Mutations in MYL2 are associated with mid-left ventricular chamber type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
