Purification and characterization of a smooth muscle myosin phosphatase from turkey gizzards
The contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle depends on the reversible phosphorylation of the 20,000 Da myosin light chains (MLC<sub>20</sub>). The phosphorylation reaction, which is catalyzed by myosin light chain kinase and results in contraction, has been well characterized. In con...
