  Myl3	(MGI:97268)

  Contains the E143K mutation in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy.

• Mutation details: The human cardiac myosin essential light chain containing a glutamate to lysine change at amino acid 143 (E143K) is under the control of the cardiac specific alpha-MHC promoter. This mutation has been associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy in humans. Line 2 expresses about 55% of human essential light chain replacing the endogenous mouse cardiac essential light chain.
