Myosin Antibodies

Myosin Antibodies

Myosins are molecular motor proteins found in eukaryotic cells. Motor proteins are involved in muscular contraction, cytokinesis, short-range membrane/vesicle transport and a host of other cellular processes. The myosins are responsible for actin-based motility by using the energy of ATP hydrolysis to generate force and movement along actin filaments. There are many isoforms of myosin of which some have specialized functions in certain cell types (such as muscle), while other isoforms are ubiquitous.
