Gene Information
human ... MYO18A(399687)
General description
The gene MYO18A (myosin-XVIIIa) is mapped to human chromosome 17q11.2. The protein contains two actin binding sites. It belongs to the myosin superfamily.
Immunogen
Myosin-XVIIIa recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MYO18A (myosin-XVIIIa) interacts with actin. MYO18A forms a tripartite complex with MRCK (myotonic dystrophy kinase-related CDC42-binding kinase) and LRAP35a (leucine repeat adapter protein 35A). The complex regulates lamellar actomyosin retrograde flow, cell protrusion and migration. MYO18A binds with GOLPH3 (golgi phosphoprotein 3) and thereby connects the Golgi to F-actin. MYO18A also interacts with PAK2 (p21-activated kinase 2)/PIXB (PAK-interacting exchange factor β)/GIT1 (GRK-interacting protein 1) complex, regulating epithelial cell migration.
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:
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.

Molecular motors of the myosin superfamily share a generic motor domain region. They commonly bind actin in an ATP-sensitive manner, exhibit actin-activated ATPase activity, and generate force and movement in this interaction. Class-18 myosins form heavy chain dimers and contain

Actomyosin retrograde flow underlies the contraction essential for cell motility. Retrograde flow in both lamellipodia and lamella is required for membrane protrusion and for force generation by coupling to cell adhesion. We report that the Rac/Cdc42-binding kinase MRCK and myosin
