Application

Myosin Heavy Chain from rabbit muscle has been used:in SDS analysis of myosin heavy chain (MHC) composition and content for microinjection into the outflow of heart (blood serum) and the cephalic cavities (embryonic cerebrospinal fluid) of chick embryo as a muscle protein, to study the role of ascorbate as a facilitator of glycogen storage in muscles

Biochem/physiol Actions

Molecular motor involved in the contraction of muscles.

General description

Myosin heavy chain (MHC) is a motor protein of muscle thick filaments. MHC regulates ultrastructural diversity of myofibrils.

Physical form

Solution in 50% glycerol containing 0.6 M KCl and 0.005 M potassium phosphate, pH 6.5
