Beschreibung

General description

Myosin regulatory light chain 2, ventricular/cardiac muscle isoform (UniProt: P10916; also known as MLC-2, ; MLC-2v, Cardiac myosin light chain 2, Myosin light chain 2, slow skeletal/ventricular muscle isoform, MLC-2s/v, Ventricular myosin light chain 2) is encoded by the MYL2 (also known as MLC2) gene (Gene ID: 4633) in human. Myosins belong to a family of actin-based motor molecular motors with ATPase activity that is essential for muscle contraction. Myosins form regular bipolar thick filaments that, together with actin thin filaments, constitute the fundamental contractile unit of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein that consists of 2 heavy chain subunits (MHC), 2 alkali light chain subunits (MLC) and 2 regulatory light chain subunits (MLC-2). Fast and slow mammalian muscle myosins differ in their heavy chain sequences. Muscles expressing the two isoforms contract at markedly different velocities. MLC-2 is highly expressed in type I muscle fibers and plays a role in heart development and function. It is phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase 3 (MYLK3) and myosin light chain kinase 2 (MYLK2), which promotes cardiac muscle contraction and function. Following phosphorylation, it plays a role in cross-bridge cycling kinetics and cardiac muscle contraction by increasing myosin lever arm stiffness and promoting myosin head diffusion, as a consequence of the increase in maximum contraction force and calcium sensitivity of contraction force. These events are reported to slow down myosin kinetics and prolong duty cycle resulting in accumulated myosins being cooperatively recruited to actin binding sites to sustain thin filament activation as a means to fine-tune myofilament calcium sensitivity to force. During cardiogenesis, it plays an early role in cardiac contractility by promoting cardiac myofibril assembly. Mutations in MYL2 gene are known to cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that is characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, dyspnea, syncope, palpitations, and chest pain. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clone 19D3.1 is a ZooMAb^® mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects MLC-2/MYL2.

Physical form

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Preparation Note

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
