Background:

Encoded by the MYL7 gene, myosin regulatory light chain 7, also designated Myosin regulatory light chain 2, atrial isoform (MLC-2a), is part of a hexameric complex of two heavy chains and four light chains predominantly expressed in adult atrial muscle. Myosin regulatory light chain 7 binds calcium and has been shown to be a useful molecular marker for cardiac chamber specification. The co-expression of myosin regulatory light chain 7 and myosin light chain 2 (MLC2v) in the outflow tract and atrioventricular canal, together with the single expression in the atrial (MYL7) and ventricular (MYL2) myo-cardium, permits the delineation of their boundaries. At the amino acid level there is 95% homology between the human and mouse myosin regulatory light chain 7 sequences.

Specificity:

MYL7 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MYL7 protein.
