EC 3.1.3.53 Details
EC number
3.1.3.53
Accepted name
[myosin-light-chain] phosphatase
Reaction
[myosin light-chain] phosphate + H2O = [myosin light-chain] + phosphate
Other name(s)
myosin light chain kinase phosphatase,
myosin phosphatase,
myosin phosphatase,
protein phosphatase 2A,
myosin-light-chain-phosphatase
Systematic name
[myosin-light-chain]-phosphate phosphohydrolase
CAS registry number
60241-39-6
Comment
The enzyme is composed of three subunits. The holoenzyme dephosphorylates myosin light chains and EC 2.7.11.18, myosin-light-chain kinase, but not myosin; the catalytic subunit acts on all three substrates.
