The MYL5 Monoclonal Antibody (PACO10689) is a valuable tool for research involving the MYL5 protein, which is essential for muscle contraction and relaxation. This antibody, produced in mice, exhibits high specificity for MYL5 in human samples and is suitable for use in techniques such as Western blotting and immunofluorescence.MYL5, a myosin light chain protein, is a key component of the contractile machinery in muscle cells. Its precise regulation is crucial for proper muscle function and is implicated in various muscle-related disorders such as myopathies and cardiovascular diseases.
By targeting MYL5 with this antibody, researchers can gain insights into its role in muscle biology and potentially develop new therapeutic strategies for muscle-related conditions.Overall, the MYL5 Monoclonal Antibody (PACO10689) is a reliable tool for studying the function and regulation of MYL5 in both health and disease, making it a valuable addition to research projects in the fields of muscle physiology and pathology.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes one of the myosin light chains, a component of the hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein myosin. Myosin is composed of two heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. This gene product, one of the regulatory light chains, is expressed in fetal muscle and in adult retina, cerebellum, and basal ganglia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
