title: Myosin-light-chain phosphatase
text: Myosin light-chain phosphatase, also called myosin phosphatase, is an enzyme that dephosphorylates the regulatory light chain of myosin II: This dephosphorylation reaction occurs in smooth muscle tissue and initiates the relaxation process of the muscle cells. Thus, myosin phosphatase undoes the muscle contraction process initiated by myosin light-chain kinase. The enzyme is composed of three subunits: the catalytic region, the myosin binding subunit (MYPT1), and a third subunit (M20) of unknown
