Rabbit anti-Human Regulatory Light Chain Polyclonal Antibody | anti-RLC antibody

Anti-Regulatory Light Chain of Smooth and Non-Muscle Myosin Antibody

Cat. Num. AAA4157900

• Reactivity: Human
• Applications: Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, ELISA
• Purity: Affinity Purified
• Synonyms: Regulatory Light Chain; Polyclonal Antibody; Anti-Regulatory Light Chain of Smooth and Non-Muscle Myosin Antibody; anti-RLC antibody

• Host: Rabbit
• Reactivity: Human
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Specificity: This affinity purified antibody is directed against the regulatory light chain of smooth and nonmuscle myosin. The antibody detects both unphosphorylated and monophosphorylated forms of the protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Cross reactivity is expected with myosin light chain from human, mouse and rat sources. Reactivity with the protein from other species has not been determined; however, the sequence of the immunogen is nearly identical in mammalian and avian species. BLAST search analysis was used to determine that the smooth and non-muscle forms of myosin regulatory light chain have identical sequences. Cross reactivity is expected.
• Purity/Purification: Affinity Purified
• Form/Format: Liquid; PBS, pH 7.4 with 0.05% sodium azide.
• Concentration: 1ug/ul (varies by lot)

• Applicable Applications for anti-RLC antibody: Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA)
• Application Notes: This affinity-purified antibody was tested by ELISA and immunoblotting and was found to be reactive with both the unphosphorylated and mono-phosphorylated forms of the protein. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunohistochemistry and immunoprecipitation.
• Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 12-27 of human myosin light chain protein.
• Preparation and Storage: This product is stable for several weeks at 4 degree C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.; For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at-20 degree C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of receipt.

Related Product Information for anti-RLC antibody

Myosin is the major component of thick muscle filaments, and is a long asymmetric molecule containing a globular head and a long tail. The molecule consists of two heavy chains each ~200,000 daltons, and four light chains each ~16,000-21,000 daltons. Activation of smooth and cardiac muscle primarily involves pathways that increase calcium and myosin phosphorylation resulting in contraction. Myosin light chain phosphatase acts to regulate muscle contraction by dephosphorylating activated myosin light chain. The selected peptide sequence used to generate the polyclonal antibody is located near the amino terminal end of the polypeptide corresponding to the smooth/non-muscle form of myosin regulatory light chain found in cardiac myocytes in addition to smooth and non-muscle cells. This sequence differs from that of the sarcomeric/cardiac form of myosin regulatory light chain that has a different sequence around the phosphorylation site. Human, mouse and rat have almost identical sequences.
