Anti-MYO1A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein myosin IA. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1043 amino acid residues and a mass of 118.4 kDa. It is notably expressed in the small intestine, rectum, duodenum, and colon. A member of the Myosin protein family, Myo1A is known to be involved in directing the movement of organelles along actin filaments. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include DFNA48, MIHC, MYHL, unconventional myosin-Ia, brush border myosin I, and BBMI. MYO1A gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the Myo1A antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
