MYO9B (Unconventional Myosin-IXb, Unconventional Myosin-9b, MYR5)

Myosin IX belongs to the family of unconventional myosins, distinct from the classical myosins I and myosins II. Myosin IX, thought to be involved in signal transduction and leukocyte differentiation, includes several isoforms. The rat isoforms are myosin IX/Myr5 (230kD) and Myr7 (300kD), and the human isoforms are myosin IXa (MYO9A) and myosin IXb (MYO9B). The isoforms of myosin IX have similar overall domain structure and are expressed in many tissues and cell types, although they have distinct tissue expression patterns. The subcellular localization of class IX myosins appears to be partly cytoplasmic, and partly associated with membranes and the actin cytoskeleton. The expression level of myosins IX may vary during development and differentiation.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA: 1:2000\nWestern Blot: 2-6ug/ml, observed in human liver lysates on ~200kD bands\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
