Anti-Myosin Light Chain 2/MLC-2V/MYL2 Antibody Picoband®

Myosin regulatory light chain 2, ventricular/cardiac muscle isoform (MLC-2) also known as the regulatory light chain of myosin (RLC) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYL2 gene. This gene encodes a major sarcomeric protein in mammalian striated muscle. The encoded protein plays a role in embryonic heart muscle structure and function, while phosphorylation of the encoded protein is involved in cardiac myosin cycling kinetics, torsion and function in adults. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 10 and infant-onset myopathy.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Myosin Light Chain 2/MLC-2V/MYL2, which shares 95.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat Myosin Light Chain 2/MLC-2V/MYL2.
