MYL2 (Myosin Light Chain 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MYL2 include Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic, 10 and Congenital Fiber-Type Disproportion. Among its related pathways are Focal Adhesion and Sertoli-Sertoli Cell Junction Dynamics.Thus gene encodes the regulatory light chain associated with cardiac myosin beta (or slow) heavy chain. Ca+ triggers the phosphorylation of regulatory light chain that in turn triggers contraction. Mutations in MYL2 are associated with mid-left ventricular chamber type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
