Extra Details:: Phosphorylation of myosin is crucial to smooth muscle contraction. The degree of myosin phosphorylation is dependent in part by the activity of myosin phosphatase. Recent findings suggest that this enzyme can be regulated, which has lead to interest in characterizing this phosphatase. Myosin phosphatase seems to be comprised of three subunits (catalytic subunit of type 1 phosphatase-δ (PP1) and two non-catalytic subunits, large and small (M20)). Studies suggest that the large subunit is a targeting subunit and is termed myosin phosphatase target subunit (MYPT). MYPT has been shown to be a substrate for the Rho-associated kinase (ROK). ROK mediates an agonist-induced increase in myosin phosphorylation and force by inhibiting myosin light chain phosphatase activity through phosphorylation of MYPT. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:1000 detected MYPT1 in RIPA lysates from HEK293 cells phosphorylated by preincubation with active ROKα/ROCK-II. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
