Myosin Light Chain Phosphatase Plays an Important Role in Cardiac Fibrosis in a Model of Mineralocorticoid Receptor‐Associated Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 2 (MYPT2) is an important subunit of cardiac MLC (myosin light chain) phosphatase, which plays a crucial role in regulating the phosphorylation of MLC to phospho‐MLC (p‐MLC).
