Myosin heavy chain 13 Products

Description

Myosin is a 480,000 dalton protein known to interact with actin in muscle and in non-muscle cells. It contains two identical heavy chains (200,000 daltons each) and four light chains (15,000-26,000 daltons). Myosin molecules consist of two major regions: tails (rods) and heads; they aggregate into filaments through the tail region and interact with actin and with ATP through the head region. Multiple forms of myosin heavy chains exist for each muscle type-skeletal, cardiac, smooth and non-muscle isomyosin forms exist in different types of skeletal muscle, depending on the physiological function of the muscle. These are designated at type I (slow-twitch) and type II (fast-twitch). Type II fibers can be further subdivided in types IIA, IIB, and IIC.
