MYH7 is composed of a globular head domain at the N-terminus, a hinge region, and an α-helical coil-coil rod domain (2). MYH7 forms a hexameric complex with two MYH7, two myosin light chain 2 (MYL2), and two myosin light chain 3 (MYL3) (3). The myosin-binding sites on actin filaments become exposed by the binding of Ca+, which leads to actin-myosin junction formation and the ability to glide along the actin base. The complexes become detached in the presence of ATP, and the next cycle of contraction is initiated when ATPase activity of the head domain hydrolyzes ATP (4). Mutations in the gene can lead to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated CM (DCM), and left ventricle non-compaction (LVNC) (5).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nbeta-myosin heavy chain; cardiac muscle myosin heavy chain 7 beta; CMD1S; CMH1; DKFZp451F047; MGC138376; MGC138378; MPD1; MYH7; MyHC-beta; MyHC-slow; MYHCB; myopathy, distal 1; myosin 7; myosin heavy chain (AA 1-96); Myosin heavy chain 7; myosin heavy chain beta-subunit; Myosin heavy chain slow isoform; Myosin heavy chain, cardiac muscle beta isoform; Myosin-7; myosin, heavy chain 7, cardiac muscle, beta; myosin, heavy polypeptide 7, cardiac muscle, beta; rhabdomyosarcoma antigen MU-RMS-40.7A; SPMD; SPMM\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 140-210\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799833137321,"sku":"64038T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-64038t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
