Product Introduction: Myosin regulatory light chains, including MRCL3, MYLPF and MYL9, regulate contraction in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells via phosphorylation by MLCK (myosin light chain kinase). Phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chains, catalyzed by MLCK in the presence of calcium and calmodulin, increases the actin-activated myosin ATPase activity, thus regulating the contractile activity. MYLPF is vital for fast and slow skeletal muscle development.
Product Description: MYLPF produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 189 amino acids (1-169 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 21.2kDa. MYLPF is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
