Summary: 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, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
