NCBI Description
Myosins are actin-based motor proteins that function in the generation of mechanical force in eukaryotic cells. Muscle myosins are heterohexamers composed of 2 myosin heavy chains and 2 pairs of nonidentical myosin light chains. This gene encodes a member of the class II or conventional myosin heavy chains, and functions in skeletal muscle contraction. This gene is found in a cluster of myosin heavy chain genes on chromosome 17. A mutation in this gene results in inclusion body myopathy-3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
Uniprot Description
MYH2: Muscle contraction. Required for cytoskeleton organization. Defects in MYH2 are the cause of inclusion body myopathy type 3 (IBM3). Hereditary inclusion body myopathies constitute a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by slowly progressive distal and proximal weakness and a typical muscle pathology including rimmed vacuoles and filamentous inclusions. IBM3 is a variant of hereditary inclusion body myopathies and is characterized by autosomal dominant myopathy with joint contracture, ophthalmoplegia and rimmed vacuoles. Morphological analysis of muscle biopsies from patients indicate that the type 2A fibers frequently were abnormal, whereas other fiber types appeared normal.

Product Notes
The MYH2 myh2 (Catalog #AAA2097540) is a Recombinant Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Recombinant Myosin Heavy Chain 2, Skeletal Muscle, Adult (MYH2) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Myosin Heavy Chain 2, Skeletal Muscle, Adult (MYH2) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Positive Control, Immunogen, SDS-PAGE, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MYH2 myh2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Myosin Heavy Chain 2, Skeletal Muscle, Adult (MYH2), Recombinant Protein" 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
