[HTML][HTML] Identification and characterization of nonmuscle myosin II-C, a new member of the myosin II family

A previously unrecognized nonmuscle myosin II heavy chain (NMHC II), which constitutes a
distinct branch of the nonmuscle/smooth muscle myosin II family, has recently been revealed
in genome data bases. We characterized the biochemical properties and expression
patterns of this myosin. Using nucleotide probes and affinity-purified antibodies, we found
that the distribution of NMHC II-C mRNA and protein (MYH14) is widespread in human and
mouse organs but is quantitatively and qualitatively distinct from NMHC II-A and II-B. In …
