Myosin-heavy-chain kinase


In enzymology, a myosin-heavy-chain kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and myosin heavy-chain, whereas its two products are ADP and myosin heavy-chain phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring a phosphate group to the sidechain oxygen atom of serine or threonine residues in proteins. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP: O-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include
