Protein description
|
Fast muscle myosin II from rabbit psoas muscle is a hexameric, actin-binding ATPase with a total molecular weight of 480kD in a head- and-tail conformation. Myosin II has two identical head domains, where the actin binding sites are localized. It consists of two heavy chains (each 220kD) and four light chains (ELC=essential and RLC= regulatory light chains).
