Myosin Heavy Chain Products


Description

Myosin heavy chain is a muscle myosin, which is a hexameric protein that consists of 2 heavy chain subunits (MHC), 2 alkali light chain subunits (MLC) and 2 regulatory light chain subunits (MLC-2). Cardiac myosin heavy chain exists as two isoforms in humans, alpha-cardiac MHC and beta-cardiac MHC. These two isoforms are expressed in different amounts in the human heart. During normal physiology, beta-cardiac MHC is the predominant form, with the alpha-isoform contributing around only 7% of the total MHC. Mutations of the myosin heavy chain genes are associated with several different dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.
