MYMK ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein myomaker, myoblast fusion factor, which is encoded by the MYMK gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a myoblast-specific protein that mediates myoblast fusion, an essential step for the formation of multi-nucleated muscle fibers. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 221 residues, a mass of 24.7 kDa, and is a member of the TMEM8 protein family. It is known to be localized in the golgi and cell membrane. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally palmitoylated. The MYMK gene has been associated with the disease, Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome. Other alias names for this target include myoblast fusion maker, transmembrane protein 226, transmembrane protein 8C, and protein myomaker.
