MYH11 Antibody / Smooth Muscle Contractile Protein Antibody recognizes Myosin Heavy Chain 11 (MYH11), a major component of the thick filaments that mediate force generation in smooth muscle cells. Recombinant mouse monoclonal clone rMYH11/8066 targets this highly specialized contractile protein, which is predominantly expressed in vascular, visceral, and genitourinary smooth muscle tissues. MYH11 functions through ATP dependent interactions with actin filaments to regulate contraction, vascular tone, gastrointestinal motility, and urinary tract function. Because of its highly restricted expression pattern, MYH11 is widely regarded as one of the most specific markers of mature smooth muscle differentiation.
MYH11 is essential for the maintenance of normal contractile activity and tissue integrity. Alternative splicing generates multiple isoforms that contribute to functional differences among smooth muscle tissues. MYH11 acts together with alpha smooth muscle actin, calponin, and desmin to form the contractile apparatus responsible for maintaining vascular and visceral function. Expression of MYH11 is regulated by myocardin and serum response factor dependent pathways that coordinate smooth muscle differentiation and phenotypic plasticity.
Altered MYH11 expression or mutations in the MYH11 gene have been linked to familial thoracic aortic aneurysm, patent ductus arteriosus, and other vascular disorders. In diagnostic pathology, MYH11 serves as a highly specific marker for identifying smooth muscle tumors and differentiating leiomyosarcoma from other spindle cell neoplasms. Detection of MYH11 using recombinant mouse monoclonal clone rMYH11/8066 is also valuable for assessing vascular integrity and smooth muscle differentiation during development and tissue remodeling.
MYH11 is additionally involved in chromosomal rearrangements associated with acute myeloid leukemia, where CBFB-MYH11 fusion proteins contribute to leukemogenesis. The protein therefore has importance in both solid tissue pathology and hematologic malignancies. Owing to its specificity and biologic significance, MYH11 remains a valuable target for studies of contractility, vascular biology, and smooth muscle disease.
MYH11 Antibody / Smooth Muscle Contractile Protein Antibody is useful for investigations of cardiovascular biology, smooth muscle pathology, gastrointestinal physiology, and developmental biology. Detection of endogenous MYH11 provides a valuable tool for studies of tissue remodeling, contractility, and diseases associated with altered smooth muscle differentiation.
