Rattus norvegicus
Gene ID: 288057 | Gene type: protein coding

About Mylk

Summary

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and Myosin light chain kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including aorta smooth muscle tissue morphogenesis; bleb assembly; and cellular hypotonic response. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to calcium ion; cellular response to potassium ion; and cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in actin cytoskeleton; cell-cell junction; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cleavage furrow; lamellipodium; and stress fiber. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adult respiratory distress syndrome; asthma; and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to human MYLK (Myosin light chain kinase).
