#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

In vertebrate smooth muscle, phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain activates contraction in Ca2+ dependent manner.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Phosphorylation of MLC  unfolds the myosin II, active and can assemble into bipolar filaments for contraction.
