MLC2 Monoclonal Antibody FHO-13 recognizes myosin light chain 2, a regulatory component of the myosin motor encoded by the MYL2 gene. Also known as MLC-2v and ventricular myosin light chain 2, MYL2 associates with the neck region of myosin heavy chains in striated muscle. The protein contributes to the structural and mechanical properties of myosin and has a particularly important role in cardiac muscle, where coordinated interactions between myosin and actin generate contractile force.
MYL2 participates in the regulation of cardiac contraction through phosphorylation-dependent modulation of myosin activity. Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain can influence the orientation and mobility of myosin heads, alter cross-bridge cycling and modify myofilament calcium sensitivity. These effects provide a mechanism for adjusting contractile force and cardiac performance in response to physiological signaling and changing mechanical demands.
Myosin light chain 2 also contributes to development and organization of the cardiac contractile apparatus. Its expression is associated with differentiated cardiomyocytes and formation of functional myofibrils, making MYL2 relevant to studies of cardiomyocyte differentiation, cardiac maturation and sarcomere assembly. The protein is consequently used in research examining both mature muscle physiology and the molecular processes responsible for establishing cardiac contractile function.
Genetic variants affecting MYL2 have been associated with inherited cardiomyopathies, particularly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Changes in regulatory light chain structure, abundance or phosphorylation can alter sarcomere mechanics and disrupt the relationship between calcium signaling and force generation. Studying MYL2 can therefore provide insight into how abnormalities of individual myofilament components influence cardiac performance and contribute to pathological remodeling.
Because MYL2 connects sarcomere structure with dynamic regulation of myosin function, it is an important target for research into cardiac contraction, myofilament regulation, muscle development and cardiomyopathy. NSJ Bioreagents offers this Myosin Light Chain 2 Rabbit Monoclonal for investigating MYL2 expression and associated contractile mechanisms. An MLC2 Monoclonal Antibody can support studies of cardiomyocyte biology, sarcomere organization and regulation of actomyosin-dependent contraction.
Optimal dilution of the MLC2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide specific to human Myosin Light Chain 2 / MYL2 was used as the immunogen for the MLC2 antibody.
Store the MLC2 antibody at -20oC.
