[essential] myosin light chain 3(English)

  • encodes the ventricular/slow skeletal muscle isoform of the myosin essential light chain (ELC), crucial for stabilizing the myosin head's alpha-helical neck and modulating sarcomeric myosin cross-bridge kinetics. Mutations in this gene cause inherited cardiac conditions, specifically hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy
