Rat Myosin Light Chain 3, MYL3 ELI

Myosin essential light chain (ELC), ventricular/cardiac isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL3 gene.

This cardiac ventricular/slow skeletal ELC isoform is distinct from that expressed in fast skeletal muscle (MYL1) and cardiac atrial muscle (MYL4).

Ventricular ELC is part of the myosin molecule and is important in modulating cardiac muscle contraction.
