Expression of smooth muscle myosin is developmentally regulated, appearing early and is specific for smooth muscle development. SMMHC stains the intact myoepithelial cell (MEC) layers present in benign and in situ malignant breast and bronchioloalveolar lesions and is therefore very helpful in distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors. The antibody reacts with smooth muscle cells and myoepithelial cells, but not with myofibroblasts. It is very helpful in distinguishing between benign sclerosing breast lesions and infiltrating carcinomas in difficult cases since it strongly stains the myoepithelial layer in the benign lesions while it is negative in the infiltrating carcinomas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anti-MYH11 antibody is supplied as Purified (Rabbit, Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal, clone MYH11\/4337R, Rabbit IgG, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget:\u003c\/strong\u003e MYH11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cytoplasm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies reactivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Human\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications (listed):\u003c\/strong\u003e IHC-P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConjugate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unconjugated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClone and antibody class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal, clone MYH11\/4337R, Rabbit IgG, kappa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBiological background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMYH11 is referenced in public gene\/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names\/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context.
