Description

General description

MYL2 (Myosin, light chain 2) is a sarcomeric protein belonging to the EF-hand calcium binding protein superfamily. It has a molecular mass of ~19kDa. In mammals, it is expressed in striated muscles.

Immunogen

Biochem/physiol Actions

MYL2 (Myosin, light chain 2) is involved in the regulatory activity of embryonic and adult heart muscles. Phosphorylated MYL2 participates in several activities such as cross-bridge cycling kinetics, calcium-dependent cardiac muscle contraction, cardiac torsion, and cardiac function. During muscular contraction, it directly interacts with the hexameric myosin complex. The myosin regulatory light chains bind to the essential light chains and flexible neck region of the myosin heavy chain to perform a structural and regulatory role in muscle contraction. Heterozygous missense mutations in MYL2 gene results in dominant hypertrophic cardioskeletal myopathy.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
