MYL3 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human MYL3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p21.31 and is approximately 47 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myosin light chain 3 protein, is involved in binding to myosin heavy chains in sarcomeres. Mutations in the gene are associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 8.
