General description

Myosin Light Chain Kinase (MLCK) also known as MYLK is a Ca2+/calmodulin dependent myosin light chain phosphorylating agent. This enzyme plays a major role in the phosphorylation of the regulatory light chains of myosin which are essential for the shortening and tension development of smooth muscle cells resulting in smooth muscle contraction. Myosin light chain kinase are widely expressed in many different tissues and cells of eukaryote species. There are two genes mylk1 and mylk2 encoding the MLCK protein, mylk2 is exclusively expressed in skeletal muscle cells.

Immunogen

Purified chicken gizzard myosin light chain kinase.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Myosin Light Chain Kinase recognizes the myosin light chain kinase of smooth muscle and from non-muscle cells such as cultured fibroblasts. Reactivity has been observed with myosin light chain kinase from chicken, turkey, bovine, human, mouseand pig origin. The antibody is recommended to use in various immunological techniques, including Immunoblotting (~160kDa), Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.

Physical form

Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.
