Subcellular Location:

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, Cytoplasm, cell cortex

Tissue Specificity:

In the kidney, expressed in the glomeruli. Also expressed in leukocytes.

Protein Length:

Partial

Pathway:

Regulationofactincytoskeleton

Mol. Weight:

54.2 kDa

Purity:

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Form:

Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer:

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Research Areas:

Cell Cycle

Function:

Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping. During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contacts formation (in the margins but not the central part of spreading cells), and lamellipodial retraction; this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH10.

Involvement in disease:

May-Hegglin anomaly (MHA); Sebastian syndrome (SBS); Fechtner syndrome (FTNS); Epstein syndrome (EPSTNS); Deafness, autosomal dominant, 17 (DFNA17); Macrothrombocytopenia and progressive sensorineural deafness (MPSD)

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
