MYL12A Antibody

Rabbit anti-Myosin pS19/pS20 Antibody, Myosin regulatory light chain 12A, Myosin regulatory light chain MRLC3, Myosin regulatory light chain 2, nonsarcomeric, Myosin RLC, MLC-2B

Human Myosin Light Chain phospho peptide corresponding to a region near the amino terminus of the human smooth/non-muscle form of myosin regulatory light chain conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) .

Anti-Myosin pS19/pS20 antibody is directed against the regulatory light chain of smooth and non-muscle myosin. This antiserum is phosphospecific and detects monophosphorylated and diphosphorylated forms of the protein. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated myosin light chain is less than 1% by ELISA. Cross reactivity is expected with myosin light chain from human and mouse. Reactivity with the protein from other species has not been determined. However, the sequence of the immunogen is nearly identical in mammalian and avian species. BLAST search analysis was used to determine that the smooth and non-muscle forms of myosin regulatory light chain have identical sequences. Cross reactivity is expected.

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Anti-Myosin pS19/pS20 phospho specific polyclonal antibody was tested by ELISA and immunoblotting. Immunoblotting was used to show reactivity with unstimulated and stimulated cardiac myocytes. The antibody was also reactive with the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide and minimally reactive with the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional by immunohistochemistry and immunoprecipitation.
