Rabbit Anti-Myosin 18B/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene may regulate muscle-specific genes when in the nucleus and may influence intracellular trafficking when in the cytoplasm. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and may interact with F actin.Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.
Function:
May be involved in intracellular trafficking of the muscle cell when in the cytoplasm, whereas entering the nucleus, may be involved in the regulation of muscle specific genes. May play a role in the control of tumor development and progression; restored MYO18B expression in lung cancer cells suppresses anchorage-independent growth.
Subunit:
Homodimer. May interact with F actin through the GPA motif (Gly/Pro/Ala-rich).
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere. Note=Punctate pattern in undifferentiated myoblasts. Nuclear, on primary cardiomyocytes and adult muscle. A partial sarcomeric location was found in some cardiomyocytes.
Tissue Specificity:
Selectively expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscles. Weakly expressed in testis, pancreas, placenta, prostate, lung and thymus.
Similarity:
Contains 1 IQ domain.
Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.
