The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-MYH16 antibody (ABIN7874809) specifically detects MYH16 in WB, ELISA, FACS and IF.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
Optimal dilution of the MYH16 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Alternative Name
MYH16
Background
The MYH16 gene, encoding a sarcomeric myosin heavy chain expressed in nonhuman primate masticatory muscles, is inactivated in humans. Stedman et al. (2004) hypothesized that the decrement in masticatory muscle size caused by the inactivation of MYH16 removed an evolutionary constraint on encephalization in early man.
