Myosin light chain 5, Myosin regulatory light chain 5, Superfast myosin regulatory light chain 2, MYLC2, MyLC-2, MYL5.
Myosin regulatory light chain 5 (MYL5) is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. Myosin is comprised of 2 heavy chains, 2 nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and 2 phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. MYL5 is a regulatory light chain and is expressed in the fetal muscle and in the ***** retina, cerebellum, and basal ganglia. The reconstitution of myosin with MYL5 or alkali light chain increases filament velocity to intermediate rates, and the re-addition of both classes of light chains fully reinstates the original sliding pace.
MYL5 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 197 amino acids (1-173 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 22.1kDa.
MYL5 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
