About MYL6B

Cytogenetic location: 12q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:56,152,587-56,157,982 (from NCBI)

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 254 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 60.9), prostate (RPKM 37.4) and 24 other tissues.

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.
