Summary: Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. It is composed of two heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. This gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain expressed in both slow-twitch skeletal muscle and in nonmuscle tissue. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

What's a GeneRIF?

our results demonstrate that MYL6B is a putative tumor driver gene in HCC which could promote the degradation of p53 by enhancing its' MDM2-mediated ubiquitination.
Title: MYL6B, a myosin light chain, promotes MDM2-mediated p53 degradation and drives HCC development.
Only the first IQ motif of IQGAP1 interacts with MYL6B. The first and second IQ motifs of IQGAP1 interact with S100B in the presence of calcium ions.

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.
