Background
MYH2 (Myosin II) is a member of the class II or conventional myosin heavy chains. Myosin II was first isolated from muscle but is also found in non muscle cells, and it is especially enriched in highly motile cell types such as amoebae. It forms bipolar filaments that interact with actin filaments to produce contraction. And it is the motor protein that generates force to drive muscle contraction. Functions in skeletal muscle contraction. The antibody is specific to MYH2, will not bind other myosins. |
