  2. Myosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

    Atoms in the heavy chain are colored pink (on the left-hand side); atoms in the light chains are colored faded-orange and faded-yellow (also on the left-hand side). Myosins (/ ˈmaɪəsɪn, - oʊ -/ [1][2]) are a family of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.

  3. Voltage-gated calcium channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-gated_calcium_channel

    Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), also known as voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g. muscle, glial cells, neurons) with a permeability to the calcium ion Ca 2+. [1][2] These channels are slightly permeable to sodium ions, so they are also ...

  4. MYO10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYO10

    The human MYO10 gene spans ~274 kb and is located on chromosome 5 band 5p15.1 (GRCh Ensembl release 89). It produces a full-length RNA transcript with 41 exons encoding a MYO10 heavy chain whose deduced sequence has 2058 amino acids and a predicted molecular weight of ~237 kDa.

  5. MYH9 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYH9

    Myosin-9 also known as myosin, heavy chain 9, non-muscle or non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIa (NMMHC-IIA) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MYH9 gene. [5] [6]Non-muscle myosin IIA (NM IIA) is expressed in most cells and tissues where it participates in a variety of processes requiring contractile force, such as cytokinesis, cell migration, polarization and adhesion, maintenance of ...

  6. Motor protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_protein

    Myosin II is an elongated protein that is formed from two heavy chains with motor heads and two light chains. Each myosin head contains actin and ATP binding site. The myosin heads bind and hydrolyze ATP, which provides the energy to walk toward the plus end of an actin filament. Myosin II are also vital in the process of cell division. For ...

  7. MYH10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYH10

    MYH10. Myosin-10 also known as myosin heavy chain 10 or non-muscle myosin IIB (NM-IIB) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH10 gene. [5][6] Non-muscle myosins are expressed in a wide variety of tissues, but NM-IIB is the only non-muscle myosin II isoform expressed in cardiac muscle, where it localizes to adherens junctions within ...

  8. Meningococcal vaccine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meningococcal_vaccine

    The first meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV-4), Menactra, was licensed in the US in 2005, by Sanofi Pasteur; Menveo was licensed in 2010, by Novartis. Both MCV-4 vaccines are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people 2 through 55 years of age. Menactra received FDA approval for use in children as young as 9 months in ...

  9. MYO7A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MYO7A

    MYO7A. Myosin VIIA is protein that in humans is encoded by the MYO7A gene. [5] Myosin VIIA is a member of the unconventional myosin superfamily of proteins. [6] Myosins are actin binding molecular motors that use the enzymatic conversion of ATP - ADP + inorganic phosphate (Pi) to provide the energy for movement.
