Myosin, light chain 2 (MYL2) encodes the regulatory light chain associated with cardiac myosin beta heavy chain. It is an important protein involved in the regulation of myosin ATPase activity in smooth muscle and Ca+ triggers the phosphorylation of regulatory light chain that in turn triggers contraction. Mutations in MYL2 are associated with mid-left ventricular chamber type hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-166 from human MYL2, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli Amino Acid Sequence: MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MAPKKAKKRA GGANSNVFSM FEQTQIQEFK EAFTIMDQNR DGFIDKNDLR DTFAALGRVN VKNEEIDEMI KEAPGPINFT VFLTMFGEKL KGADPEETIL NAFKVFDPEG KGVLKADYVR EMLTTQAERF SKEEVDQMFA AFPPDVTGNL DYKNLVHIIT HGEEKD Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only.
