| UniProt functional annotation for P08052 | |||
| UniProt code: P08052. |
| Organism: | Todarodes pacificus (Japanese flying squid) (Ommastrephes pacificus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Spiralia; Lophotrochozoa; Mollusca; Cephalopoda; Coleoidea; Decapodiformes; Teuthida; Oegopsina; Ommastrephidae; Todarodes. | |
| Function: | In molluscan muscle, calcium regulation is associated with myosin rather than with actin. Muscle myosin contains two types of light chains: the catalytic light chain, essential for ATPase activity, and the regulatory light chain, a calcium-binding protein responsible for Ca(2+) dependent binding and Ca(2+) dependent Mg-ATPase activity. | |
| Miscellaneous: | This chain binds calcium. | |
