Recombinant Human Myosin Light Chain 1

Source : Escherichia Coli. Recombinant Human Ventricular Myosin Light Chain-1 (MYL1) protein has a molecular mass of 25 kDa and is fused to 7 amino acids at N-terminus. The MYL1 protein was affinity purified using anti MYL1 monoclonal antibody 39-15 column. Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein, which is composed of 2 heavy chains, 2 non-phosphorylatable alkali light chains, and 2 phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. MYL1 gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain expressed in fast skeletal muscle. Two transcript variants have been identified for the MYL1 gene. In humans MYL1 is localized to chromosome 2q32.1-qter. The Myl1 locus encodes two alkali myosin light chains- Mlc1f and Mlc3f, from two promoters that are differentially regulated throughout development. The Mlc1f promoter is active in embryonic, fetal and adult fast skeletal muscle while the Mlc3f promoter is upregulated during fetal development and stays on in adult fast skeletal muscle.
