Rabbit Anti-Myosin heavy chain 2/FITC Conjugated antibody
Function:
Muscle contraction. Required for cytoskeleton organization (By similarity).
Subunit:
Muscle myosin is a hexameric protein that consists of 2 heavy chain subunits (MHC), 2 alkali light chain subunits (MLC) and 2 regulatory light chain subunits (MLSLC2). Interacts with GCSAM.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm, myofibril. Note=Thick filaments of the myofibrils.
DISEASE:
Inclusion body myopathy 3 (IBM3) [MIM:605637]: Hereditary inclusion body myopathies constitute a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by slowly progressive distal and proximal weakness and a typical muscle pathology including rimmed vacuoles and filamentous inclusions. IBM3 is a variant of hereditary inclusion body myopathies and is characterized by autosomal dominant myopathy with joint contracture, ophthalmoplegia and rimmed vacuoles. Morphological analysis of muscle biopsies from patients indicate that the type 2A fibers frequently were abnormal, whereas other fiber types appeared normal. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity:
Contains 1 IQ domain.
Contains 1 myosin head-like domain.
