| UniProt functional annotation for P13538 | |||
| UniProt code: P13538. |
| Organism: | Gallus gallus (Chicken). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Archelosauria; Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves; Neognathae; Galloanserae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus. | |
| Function: | Muscle contraction. Myosin is a protein that binds to F-actin and has ATPase activity that is activated by F-actin. | |
| Subunit: | Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein that consists of 2 heavy chain subunits (MHC), 2 alkali light chain subunits (MLC) and 2 regulatory light chain subunits (MLC-2). | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm, myofibril. Note=Thick filaments of the myofibrils. | |
| Domain: | The rodlike tail sequence is highly repetitive, showing cycles of a 28-residue repeat pattern composed of 4 heptapeptides, characteristic for alpha-helical coiled coils. | |
| Domain: | Limited proteolysis of myosin heavy chain produces 1 light meromyosin (LMM) and 1 heavy meromyosin (HMM). HMM can be further cleaved into 2 globular subfragments (S1) and 1 rod-shaped subfragment (S2). {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily. Myosin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
