Product Overview
Mutation Description
Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, 1 bp insertion in exon 2.
Knockout Validation
Sanger Sequencing, Western Blot (WB)
Cell Line Properties
Target Information
Gene Function
Myosin regulatory subunit that plays an important role in regulation of both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cell contractile activity via its phosphorylation. Implicated in cytokinesis, receptor capping, and cell locomotion.
Sequence Similarities
Contains 3 EF-hand domains.
Post-translational Modifications
Phosphorylation increases the actin-activated myosin ATPase activity and thereby regulates the contractile activity. It is required to generate the driving force in the migration of the cells but not necessary for localization of myosin-2 at the leading edge.
Storage & Handling
Cryopreservation Cell Medium
Cell freezing medium - DMSO serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Culture Medium
DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
Initial Handling Guidelines
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4 °C. After reconstitution, store at -20 °C for short-term storage or -80 °C for long-term storage.
Storage Instructions
Store at -80 °C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
