Product Summary for MYH4 Antibody

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues at the C-terminus from mouse MYH4. This sequence has 100% identity with rat and human MYH4, and has significant homology to MYH1, MYH2, and MYH8. [UniProt# Q5SX39]

Specificity

The antibody detects a 215 kDa protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of MYH4 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse extraocular muscle and mouse C2C12 cells. The antibody may also detect other skeletal MYHs, such as MYH1 and MYH2, which have significant homology to the C-terminal region of MYH4.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Theoretical MW

215 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Description

Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Background: Myosin Heavy Chain 4/MYH4

MYH4, also known as Myosin-4, is a 1939 amino acid protein that is 223 kDa, predominantly found in myocytes mediates plus-ended movement along microfilaments and involved in muscle contraction through cyclic interactions with actin-rich thin filaments, creating a contractile force. It is regulated by phosphorylation via myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and by intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. Current research is being performed on several diseases and disorders including congestive heart failure, yaws, myocarditis, hermaphroditism, liver disease, pharyngitis, and alcoholism. This protein is involved in cell adhesion integrin-mediated cell adhesion and migration, cell adhesion tight junctions, cytoskeleton remodeling regulation of actin cytoskeleton by Rho GTPases, immune response CCR3 signaling in eosinophils, development MAG-dependent inhibition of neurite outgrowth, RhoA, antioxidant action of vitamin-C, transendothelial migration of leukocytes, actin nucleation by ARP-WASP complex, epithelial adherens junctions, inhibitory action of lipoxins on neutrophil migration, membrane trafficking, translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, translocation of GLUT4 vesicle and docking at the plasma membrane, and Viral myocarditis pathways forming interactions with ESR2, NTHL1, S100A4, USP15, C12orf44, CNBP, ACTB, and over 30 other proteins.
