Monoclonal Anti-Myosin (Skeletal, Slow) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the NOQ7.5.4D hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice. Myosin is a hexameric protein containing two heavy chain subunits and four light chain subunits. It is a major protein component of heart and skeletal muscles. Muscle myosin heavy chain (MHC) different isoforms are expressed depending on the physiological function of the muscle: skeletal, cardiac, smooth and non-muscle.
Synonyms: CMD1S; CMH1; MPD1; MYHCB; SPMD; SPMM
Storage: -20C
Application: Monoclonal Anti-Myosin (Skeletal, Slow) antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunobloting, immunohistology, Solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoelectronmicroscopy.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Myosin is the element responsible for energy transduction and force development in heart and skeletal muscles. Myosin is known to interact with actin in muscle and in nonmuscle cells. Slow myosin, also known as ß-myosin heavy chain (ß-MHC) is expressed during embryogenesis as part of the cardiac myogenic program under the control of NK-2 homeobox protein-5 (NKX-2.5), myocyte enhancer factor-2C (MEF-2C), and GATA-4/5/6.
