Mylk

Enables enzyme binding activity. Involved in neurotransmitter receptor transport to postsynaptic membrane and tonic smooth muscle contraction. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to calcium ion; cellular response to potassium ion; and cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; respiratory system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adult respiratory distress syndrome; asthma; coronary artery disease; megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome; and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to human MYLK (myosin light chain kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mylk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
