[[Myosin]] is a hexameric [[ATPase]] cellular [[motor protein]]. It is composed of two heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. This gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain that is expressed in [[smooth muscle]] and non-muscle tissues. [[Genome|Genomic sequences]] representing several [[pseudogenes]] have been described and two [[transcript variants]] encoding different [[isoforms]] have been identified for this gene.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: MYL6 myosin, light chain 6, alkali, smooth muscle and non-muscle| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4637}}</ref>
