Anti-Myosin-10

Myosin II is a hexameric protein that consist of a pair of heavy chain subunits (MHC), a pair of essential light chain subunits (MLC), and a pair of regulatory light chain subunits (RLCs). Non-muscle myosin heavy chain II-B is encoded by the myosin heavy chain 10 gene (MYH10) and non-muscle myosin heavy chain II-A is encoded by the Myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9). Myosin in non-muscle cells is involved in motile cellular processes which include cytokinesis, cell shape, secrection, and capping. Protein function: Cellular myosin that appears to play a role in cytokinesis, cell shape, and specialized functions such as secretion and capping. Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2. During cell spreading, plays an important role in cytoskeleton reorganization, focal contacts formation (in the central part but not the margins of spreading cells), and lamellipodial extension, this function is mechanically antagonized by MYH9.
