* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Myosin-IIIa encoded by MYO3A belongs to the myosin superfamily. Myosins are actin-dependent motor proteins and are categorized into conventional myosins (class II) and unconventional myosins (classes I and III through XV) based on their variable C-terminal cargo-binding domains. Class III myosins, such as this one, have a kinase domain N-terminal to the conserved N-terminal motor domains and are expressed in photoreceptors. Myosin-IIIa encoded by MYO3A plays an important role in hearing in humans. Three different recessive, loss of function mutations in the encoded protein have been shown to cause nonsyndromic progressive hearing loss. Expression of MYO3A is highly restricted, with the strongest expression in retina and cochlea.

Uniprot Description
MYO3A: a multifunctional protein with an N-terminal kinase domain of the STE20 family and a myosin-head motor domain. Expression of this gene is highly restricted, with the strongest expression in photoreceptors and cochlea. Probably plays a role in vision and hearing. 3 different recessive, loss of function mutations in the encoded protein have been shown to cause nonsyndromic progressive hearing loss.

Product Notes
The Human MYO3A myo3a (Catalog #AAA9715083) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715083 ELISA Kit recognizes Human MYO3A. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Myosin-IIIa (MYO3A), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
