Application

Anti-Myosin (Smooth) antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in various immunochemical assays, including immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) / flow cytometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myosin is involved in a variety of cellular processes including secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, locomotion, phagocytosis and cytokinesis. This antibody can be a useful tool in the identification and localization of smooth muscle elements, in the diagnosis and classification of mesenchymal tumors and in myosin expression studies in normal and malignant cell proliferations.

General description

Anti-Myosin (Smooth) antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hSM-V hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a mouse immunized with human uterus smooth muscle extract. Myosin together with actin belong to a family of contractile proteins. Myosin contains two heavy chains (~200 kDa each) and four light chains (15-26 kDa). The Myosin molecules which consist of two major regions: tail (rod) and head, aggregate through the tail region into filaments and interact through the head region with actin and with ATP.
