MYL6B is a heavy chain regulator found in smooth muscle and non-muscle Myosin complexes. Contractile activity in smooth muscle is regulated by the calcium/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of Myosin light chain by Myosin light chain kinase. MYL6B does not bind calcium during contraction. It is primarily found in a hexamer consisting of four light chains and two heavy chains. It most commonly interacts with Myosin Va, an Actin based motor that can move in large steps. MYL6B is expressed in most tissues with neurons and smooth muscle tissue having the highest expression.
