Background:

Myosin regulatory light chains, including MRCL3 (also known as MRLC3 or MLCB), MRLC2 (also known as MLC-B) and MYL9 (also known as LC20, MLC2, MRLC1 or MYRL2), regulate contraction in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells via phosphorylation by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). Phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chains, catalyzed by MLCK in the presence of calcium and calmodulin, increases the Actin-activated myosin ATPase activity, thereby regulating the contractile activity. Myosin light chain is also located in striated skeletal muscle, where its function remains undefined.

Specificity:

MYL9/MYL12A (P13) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MYL9 and MYL12A protein.
