Abstract excerpt
Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) is a multifunctional molecule composed of an N-terminal actin binding domain, a central kinase domain, and C-terminal calmodulin- and myosin-binding domains. We previously cloned and characterized a novel MLCK isoform from endothelial cells (EC MLCK) consisting of 1,914 amino acids displaying a higher molecular weight (210 kDa) and a novel-amino-terminal stretch of...
