Atrial natriuretic factor in the developing heart: a signpost for cardiac morphogenesis.

abstract：:Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain of myosin catalyzed by myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) is the key reaction in the regulation of actin-myosin interaction in smooth muscle. It is shown that this reaction is of an ordered type, whereby kinase first binds ATP and then the light chain, and following phosphat...
