Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous level of MLC2 only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 118.

Smooth muscle tissues and in some, but not all, nonmuscle cells.
Buffer
Supplied at 1.0mg/mL in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Format
liquid
Purification
Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi
