Abstract excerpt
Abstract Precise regulation of sarcomeric contraction is essential for normal cardiac function. The heart must generate sufficient force to pump blood throughout the body, but either inadequate or excessive force can lead to dysregulation and disease. Myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) is a thick‐filament protein that binds to the neck of the myosin heavy chain. Post‐translational phosphorylation of RLC (RLC‐P)...
