Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Myosin (Light Chains 20 kDa) (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Myosin is a 500,000 Da protein known to interact with identical heavy chains (200,000 daltons each) and four light chains (15,000-20,000 daltons). Myosin molecules consist of two major regions: tail (rod) and head regions._x000D_ Myosin is a cytoskeletal protein responsible for muscle contraction, muscle filament sliding and regulation of ATPase activity. Monoclonal anti-myosin (Light Chains 20 kDa) antibody diluted 1:200 can be used to detect MLC20. It is also useful in staining (1:10,000) 2D slab gels. Anti-myosin(Light Chains 20 kDa) antibody reacts specifically with 20 kDa light chain of chicken gizzard, chicken intestine and pig stomach myosin which is SDS, heat denatured and reduced but not with intact myosin molecule in its native state._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ chicken lens membrane._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Myosin (Light Chains 20 kDa) antibody produced in mouse has been used in:_x000D_ • western blot analysis_x000D_ • fluorescence immunohistochemistry_x000D_ • confocal microscopy_x000D_ Monoclonal anti-myosin (Light Chains 20 kDa) antibody can be used in immunoblotting and western blotting._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
