MYL2 Antibody (AT3B2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects myosin regulatory light chain 2 (MYL2) in mouse and rat samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), flow cytometry (FCM), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-MYL2 antibody (AT3B2) plays a crucial role in cardiac muscle function, as MYL2 is integral to the contractile apparatus of cardiac myocytes, facilitating muscle contraction through interaction with myosin heavy chains. MYL2 is predominantly located in adult cardiac ventricle muscle, where MYL2 forms part of a hexameric complex essential for proper heart functioning. Precise localization of MYL2 is vital for maintaining structural integrity and contractile efficiency of cardiac tissue, and MYL2 expression is a key marker for cardiac chamber specification. Notably, mutations in MYL2 have been linked to various forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, underscoring MYL2′s importance in cardiac health and disease. With high homology between human and mouse sequences, MYL2 monoclonal antibody (AT3B2) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying cardiac function and related pathologies.
