MKL/myocardin-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MKL2 gene. ^{[5] [6]}

Members of the myocardin family bind to the transcription factor serum response factor (SRF) and act as coactivators controlling genes of relevance for myogenic differentiation, motile function ^[7] and addiction. ^[8]
