Myosin, Skeletal Muscle, Heavy Chain Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Myosin is one of the two major components of muscle tissue responsible for contraction. In muscle cells myosin is arranged as thick filamentous structures that are arranged in parallel to thin filamentous structures composed of actin. Muscle contraction is actuated by the coupling and uncoupling of thin and thick filaments through a chemical linkage mediated by ATP. The coupling and uncoupling is arranged such that the filaments slide in one direction when coupled and in reverse direction when uncoupled or released. Myosin and actin also serve to facilitate motility in non-muscle cells such as in slime molds where shorter yet similar filamentous structures work together. An increasing number of different myosins are being described. Myosin I is a low molecular weight myosin found in protozoa and does not self-assemble. Myosin II is the classic form found in muscle cells that self assemble into thick bundles. Myosin II is a multimeric protein that is composed of two heavy chains and two light chains.

Small volumes of anti-Myosin, Skeletal Muscle, heavy chain antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
