Anti-MYH9 Antibody

This polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets MYH9, the ~226 kDa non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA encoded on chromosome 22q12.3. The reagent is supplied as a 50 µl aliquot at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.05% sodium azide, pH approximately 7.2, and is unconjugated for flexible downstream detection chemistry. Raised in rabbit, it is validated for western blot and shows reactivity with human and rat samples, supporting studies of cytokinesis, cell migration, cytoskeletal organization, and platelet biogenesis. The reagent is relevant to research on MYH9-related thrombocytopenia and the macrothrombocytopenia syndromes, where MYH9 mutations disrupt non-muscle myosin IIA function in platelets and podocytes, and to broader cytoskeletal and cancer cell motility work. Refrigerate the vial on arrival and protect from light; the azide-containing buffer permits long-term cold storage, and small aliquots help avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. For research use only, in vitro applications.
