Human cardiac myosin light chain 4 (MYL4) mosaic expression patterns vary by sex

Abstract Sex disparities modulate cardiac function, although the proteins and mechanisms remain to be elucidated. We recently demonstrated a mosaic pattern of protein expression in the heart for over 100 proteins. Here we investigate one of these proteins, myosin light chain 4 (MYL4), which is impor...
