Myosin light-chain 2 (MLC2), also known as myosin regulatory light chain 2, is a subtype of MLC expressed in cardiac ventricular and skeletal slow-twitch muscles.1,2 MLC2 is composed of three calcium-binding EF-hand domains and is found in the head-stem interface of myosin with other MLC isoforms.2 It is phosphorylated at serine 19 (Ser19) by MLC kinase (MLCK), which stabilizes myosin filaments for cardiac- or skeletal muscle contractions.3,4 Mutations in MYL2, the gene encoding MLC2, have been found in patients with mild familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC).5 Cayman's MCL2 (Phospho-Ser19) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Clone RM484) can be used for Western blot (WB).
