Anti-Myosin-6 MYO6 Antibody

Anti-Myosin-6 MYO6 Antibody

• Background: Myosin VI is a myosin superfamily member with unique and intriguing features that allow it to fill a still-expanding number of cell biological roles. This actin-based motor produces force that acts towards the minus end of actin filaments, which is the opposite direction to all other characterized myosins. In mammalian cells, myosin VI is localized to endocytic vesicles, membrane ruffles, the cytosol and the Golgi complex. Its motor function is essential for several physiological functions of the cell, including normal rates of endocytosis, maintenance of Golgi morphology and protein secretion. Myosin VI regulates epithelial cell migration and plays a role in the maintenance of adhesive cellular contacts within epithelial cell layers. It is highly expressed in ovarian cancers and prostate cancers and its expression level, which is upregulated by DNA damage in a p53-dependent manner, correlates with the potential of the tumor to disseminate. More recently, myosin VI has been found involved in EGFR endocytosis through a clathrin dependent mechanism.
• Description: Boster Bio Anti-Myosin-6 MYO6 Antibody (Catalog # A02627). Tested in WB applications. This antibody reacts with Human, Pig.
• Synonyms: Myosin-6, MyosinVI, Unconventional myosin 6
• CAS Number: 9007-83-4
• Gene Name: MYO6
• UniProt: Q29122
• Host: Rabbit
• Reactivity: Human, Pig
• Immunogen: Anti-Myosin-6 was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with full length myosin-6 construct expressed in SF9 insect cells corresponding to porcine myosyn-6 protein.
• Clonality: Polyclonal

• Components: 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2, 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide
• Storage Conditions: Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.
• Fragment: Antiserum
• Applications Notes: Myosin-6 antibody has been tested by SDS and western blot. For western blots expect a band of approximately 150 kDa in size corresponding to full length and ~85kDa and ~60kDa for truncated myosin-6 protein. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. This antibody is suitable for use in ELISA.
