Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) by Ca(2+)-calmodulin-activated myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) is known to be essential for the inotropic function of the heart. In this study, we have examined the effects of MLCK-phosphorylation of transgenic (Tg) mouse cardiac muscle preparations expressing the D166V (aspartic acid to valine)-RLC mutation, identified to cause familial hypertrophic...
