General description

Smooth Muscle Myosin, heavy chain (SMMS-1) is a cytoplasmic structural protein that is a major component of the contractile apparatus of the smooth muscle cells. SMMS-1 is also an amyoepithelium-associated protein. Anti-SMMS-1 is a mouse monoclonal antibody to smooth muscle myosin, a heavy chain that reacts with human visceral and vascular smooth muscle cells. The antibody also reacts with human myoepithelial cells. It is very helpful in identifying myoepithelial cells in benign sclerosing breast lesions and demonstrating their absence of invasive breast carcinomas.
