EC 2.7.11.18 Details
EC number
2.7.11.18
Accepted name
myosin-light-chain kinase
Reaction
ATP + [myosin light chain] = ADP + [myosin light chain] phosphate
Other name(s)
[myosin-light-chain] kinase, ATP:myosin-light-chain O-phosphotransferase, calcium/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase, MLCK, MLCKase, myosin kinase, myosin light chain kinase, myosin light chain protein kinase, myosin light-chain kinase (phosphorylating), smooth-muscle-myosin-light-chain kinase, STK18
Systematic name
ATP:[myosin light chain] O-phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
51845-53-5
Comment
Requires Ca2+ and calmodulin for activity. The 20-kDa light chain from smooth muscle myosin is phosphorylated more rapidly than any other acceptor, but light chains from other myosins and myosin itself can act as acceptors, but more slowly.
History
created 1986 as EC 2.7.1.117, transferred 2005 to EC 2.7.11.18
