Myosin, Slow Muscle

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Recognizes the human slow myosin heavy chain. Clearly identifies Type 1 fibers. Within skeletal muscle is specific for slow myosin heavy chain in a wide variety of species. It reacts strongly with rat and feline slow myosin heavy chain. Identifies beta (slow) myosin heavy chain in heart ventricles.
