MYLK2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human MYLK2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q11.21 and is approximately 15 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myosin light chain kinase 2, skeletal/cardiac muscle protein, is involved in serine/threonine-protein kinase activity and the regulation of muscle contraction. Mutations in the gene are associated with digenic forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 1.
