Anti-myozenin 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the MYOZ2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 264 amino acid residues and a mass of 29.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is notably expressed in the heart and skeletal muscle. A member of the Myozenin protein family, it is known to be involved with the regulation of transcription and skeletal muscle tissue development. The gene encoding this protein is implicated in Cardiomyopathy. Other names for this target antigen include CMH16, CS-1, FATZ-2, FATZ-related protein 2, calcineurin-binding protein calsarcin-1, and C4orf5. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some myozenin 2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunofluorescence are also common applications.
