Human Myosin Heavy Chain 1, Skeletal Muscle, Adult (MYH1) ELISA Kit

The MYH1 gene encodes the fast-twitch Type IIx myosin heavy chain isoform, a contractile protein concentrated in skeletal muscle fibers responsible for rapid, glycolytic contraction. Researchers commonly quantify MYH1 expression to characterize muscle fiber-type composition in studies of neuromuscular disorders, exercise-induced remodeling, sarcopenia, and cachexia. This ELISA kit from Assay Genie uses matched capture and detection antibodies pre-coated onto a microplate to quantify MYH1 in research samples. Unopened components should be stored at 4 °C and protected from light; reconstituted standards should be aliquoted to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and held refrigerated between uses.
