AIM: To study the distribution and expression of non-muscle myosin light chain kinase (nmMLCK) in rabbit livers. METHODS: Human nmMLCK N-terminal cDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and was inserted into pBKcmv to construct expression vectors. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into XL1-blue. Expression protein was induced by IPTG and then purified by SDS-PAGE and electroelution, which was used to prepare the polycolonal antibody to detect the distribution and expression of nmMLCK in rabbit livers with immunofluorescene techniques. RESULTS: The polyclonal antibody was prepared, by which nmMLCK expression was detected and distributed mainly in peripheral hepatocytes. CONCLUSION: nmMLCK can express in hepatocytes peripherally, and may play certain roles in the regulation of hepatic functions.
