Descriptor cadenas ligeras de miosina
Entry term(s) cadenas ligeras alcalinas de miosina
cadenas ligeras de la miosina
Scope note: Las más pequeñas subunidades de las MIOSINAS que se unen cerca de los dominios de las cabezas de las CADENAS PESADAS DE MIOSINAS. Las cadenas ligeras de las miosinas tienen un peso molecular de unos 20 KDa y generalmente, asociadas a cada cadena pesada, hay un par de cadenas ligeras esenciales y un par de cadenas reguladoras. Muchas cadenas ligeras que unen calcio son consideradas proteínas similares a calmodulina.

Scope note: The smaller subunits of MYOSINS that bind near the head groups of MYOSIN HEAVY CHAINS. The myosin light chains have a molecular weight of about 20 KDa and there are usually one essential and one regulatory pair of light chains associated with each heavy chain. Many myosin light chains that bind calcium are considered "calmodulin-like" proteins.
