Description
Recombinant Myosin-2 (Myosin heavy chain C) fragment (residues 1378-1690) from Caenorhabditis elegans, designed for studying muscle contraction mechanisms. This 313-amino acid fragment is optimized for stability and solubility, ideal for structural biology and biochemical assays.
Myosin-2, encoded by the myo-2 gene, is essential for muscle contraction in Caenorhabditis elegans. It localizes to the cytoplasm within thick filaments of myofibrils, where it contributes to force generation and movement. The full-length protein's role in contractile processes underscores its importance in muscular function and development. This fragment provides a focused tool for exploring these mechanisms without domain complexities.
