Differences in cardiac myosin light chain LC1 among human, monkey and sheep. 1985

Y P See, and U Danilczyk, and P M Olley, and G Jackowski

The atrial and ventricular myosin light chains of human, monkey and sheep hearts were compared by dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The atrial light chain 2 and ventricular light chain 2 are similar among these mammals. However, the atrial light chain 1 of monkey has different electrophoretic mobility from those of human and sheep. The monkey ventricular light chain 1 has same mobility as that of sheep but different from that of human.

D009218	Myosins	A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
