Western blot image of human A431 cells. The blots were untreated (lanes 1 & 3) or treated with lambda phosphatase (lanes 2 & 4), then probed with rabbit polyclonal Myosin IIA Heavy Chain (Ser-1943), phospho-specific antibody (lanes 1 & 2) or rabbit polyclonal Myosin IIA Heavy Chain (a.a. 1936-1950) antibody (lanes 3 & 4).

Product Details
Myosin IIA Heavy Chain (C-terminal region)
Nonmuscle myosin II is an actin-based motor protein essential to cell motility, cell division, migration, adhesion and polarity. This myosin forms a hexameric complex comprised of two heavy chains (NMHC-II), two essential light chains, and two regulatory light chains (RLC). In vertebrates, there are three NMHC-II isoforms (NMHC-IIA, NMHC-IIB, and NMHC-IIC), which exhibit distinct patterns of expression in cells and tissues. Regulation of NMHC-II activity occurs through RLC and HC phosphorylation. RLCs are phosphorylated at Thr-18 and Ser-19, leading to activation of myosin II motor activity and increased myosin filament stability. By contrast, PKC phosphorylation of Ser-1/Ser-2 and Thr-9 in RLC may decrease activated myosin II interaction with actin. NMHC-II phosphorylation may be an important mode for regulating myosin-II assembly. PKC phosphorylates NMHC-IIA on Ser-1916 in the C-terminal region and NMHC-IIB on multiple serines in the tailpiece. Casein kinase II phosphorylates NMHC-IIA on Ser-1943 in the tailpiece and increases disassembly of NMHC-IIA filaments.

NMHC-IIA synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues in the C-terminal region of human myosin IIA heavy chain. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and mouse NMHC-IIA, but is not found in NMHC-IIB and is not well conserved in NMHC-IIC.
