Myosin phosphatase regulates the interaction of actin and myosin downstream of the guanosine triphosphatase Rho. The small guanosine triphosphatase Rho is implicated in myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, which results in contraction of smooth muscle and interaction of actin and myosin in non muscle cells. The guanosine triphosphate (GTP) bound, active form of RhoA (GTP.RhoA) specifically interacted with the myosin binding subunit (MBS) of myosin phosphatase, which regulates the extent

Members of the mixed-lineage kinase (MLK) family (including MLK1, MLK2, MLK3, and dual leucine zipper kinase [DLK]) are serine/threonine protein kinases that are expressed in multiple cell types. MLK3 is activated by phosphorylation in response to stress stimuli (e.g., inflammatory responses, UV, chemical stress) that are coupled to the small GTPase, Cdc42/rac. MLK3 is a multifunctional kinase that plays an essential role in several signaling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein kinas

This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the pentapeptide opioids Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin, which are stored in synaptic vesicles, then released into the synapse where they bind to mu- and delta-opioid receptors to modulate the perception of pain. Other non-opioid cleavage products may function in distinct biological activities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

Eosinophil derived neurotoxin (EDN) is a protein belonging to the ribonuclease (RNase) A superfamily. It has recently been found to have antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus and human immunodeficiency virus in vitro.
