METHODS: The expression of MLCK was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR); the MLCK was obtained from rabbit liver, and its activity was analyzed by gamma-(32)P incorporation technique to detect the phosphorylation of myosin light chain. RESULTS: MLCK was expressed in rabbit liver, and the activity of the enzyme was similar to rabbit smooth muscle MLCK, and calmodulin-dependent. When the concentration was 0.65 mg x L(-1), the activity was at the highest level. CONCLUSION: MLCK expressed in rabbit liver may catalyze the phosphorylation of myosin light chain, which may play important roles in the regulation of hepatic cell functions.展开更多
