Gene Information

General description

Myosin IIB (nonmuscle) is a relatively abundant, widespread two headed myosin composed of an N-terminal motor domain, a light chain binding neck region, a coiled-coil region, and a nonhelical C-terminal domain. It forms a heterohexamer composed of a pair of heavy chains and two pairs of light chains. Myosin IIB is expressed in embryonic cardiac myocytes.

Specificity

Anti-Myosin IIB, non-muscle antibody is specific for the heavy chain of human myosin IIB (nonmuscle). The antibody also reacts with myosin in dogs and rats.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 1965-1976 of the heavy chain of human myosin IIB (nonmuscle) conjugated to KLH. This sequence is identical in rabbit and differs by one and two amino acids from the respective bovine and rat sequences.

Application

Anti-Myosin IIB, non-muscle antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • immunoblotting
  • stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myosin IIB plays a key role in the COS-7 cell cytokinesis and is need for the initiation of ring constriction.
Myosins are actin-dependent motors that have 15 classes based on their phylogenetics . Myosin IIb regulates memory and synaptic plasticity functions. Nonmuscle myosin IIb has been implicated in fibroblast movement and erythroblast enucleation .

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
