Myhc-α(334–352)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Myhc-α(334–352) is a sequence fragment of amino acid residues 334 to 352 of cardiac myosin heavy chain α. Myhc-α(334–352) is an immunodominant epitope that can induce autoimmune reactions in A/J mice, leading to the occurrence of myocarditis. Myhc-α(334–352) can be used to study the autoimmune pathways of myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy.
