Rabbit anti-Human MYH10 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P35580

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MYH10

Target Full Name

Myosin-10

Target Function

Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping. Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2. During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contacts formation (in the central part but not the margins of spreading cells), and lamellipodial extension; this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH9.

Target Involvement

Associated with severe intellectual disability, microcephaly, and feeding difficulties as well as cerebral atrophy.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell projection, lamellipodium. Note=Colocalizes with MCC at the leading edge of migrating cells.

Target Protein Families

TRAFAC class myosin-kinesin ATPase superfamily, Myosin family

Target Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 is expressed in cerebellum and spinal chord. Isoform 2 is expressed in cerebrum and retina. Isoform 3 is expressed in the cerebrum and to a much lower extent in cerebellum.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the myosin superfamily. The protein represents a conventional non-muscle myosin; it should not be confused with the unconventional myosin-10 (MYO10). Myosins are actin-dependent motor proteins with diverse functions including regulation of cytokinesis, cell motility, and cell polarity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with May-Hegglin anomaly and developmental defects in brain and heart. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
