Mylk2 - myosin light chain kinase 2

Enables myosin light chain binding activity and myosin light chain kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of fast-twitch skeletal muscle fiber contraction; regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity; and synaptic vesicle transport. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; postsynaptic density; and synaptic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 1. Orthologous to human MYLK2 (myosin light chain kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
