General description

MYH3 (Myosin, heavy chain 3, skeletal muscle, embryonic) is a skeletal-muscle myosin expressed in the thymus, placenta, heart, and liver. It encodes a muscle embryonic myosin heavy chain (MYH3) consisting of a globular motor domain attached to a short neck portion and a hinge region connected to a long coiled-coil rod domain. The rod shaped structure defines myosin tail domain.

Myosin-3 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MYH3 (Myosin, heavy chain 3, skeletal muscle, embryonic) plays an important role in the early development of heart. It also plays a role in skeletal development. Mutation in MYH3 causes an autosomal dominant disorder, Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS), characterized by pterygia, camptodactyly of the hands, vertebral fusions, and scoliosis. MYH3 mutation also causes a severe multiple congenital contracture syndromes, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) and Sheldon-Hall syndrome (SHS).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Nuclear bodies, such as nucleoli, PML bodies, and SC35 speckles, are dynamic sub-nuclear structures that regulate multiple genetic and epigenetic processes. Additional regulation is provided by RNA/DNA handling proteins, notably TDP-43 and FUS, which have been linked to ALS pathology.
