Myosin II, the most conspicuous of the myosin superfamily due to its abundance in muscle fibers, was the first to be discovered.

Myosin is a motor protein filament found in muscle tissue. Together with actin filaments, myosin provides the mechanism for muscle contraction, utilizing energy from ATP.

Myosin:
Myosin constitutes the thick filament or myofilaments of the striated muscle cells.
Each individual molecule of myosin (mol wt. 500 000) is shaped like a double-headed golf club with a hinged shaft.

Myosin heads attach to binding sites on the actin filaments. The myosin heads swivel toward the center of the sarcomere, detach and then reattach to the nearest active site of the actin filament.

myosin
(my-uh-sin) [Gk. mys, muscle]
A type of protein filament that interacts with actin filaments to cause cell contraction.

myosin A large protein of contractile tissue that forms the thick myofilaments of striated muscle. During contraction it combines with actin to form actomyosin.

Together myosin, actin, tropomyosin, and troponin make up over three-quarters of the protein in muscle fibers. Some two dozen other proteins make up the rest.

On the other hand, XNU + BLASTP is, in some cases, able to detect regions of similarity in the myosin heavy chain family, which has some members with a minimal amount of repetitive region.

2: Unrooted tree for myosin gene
A phylogenetic tree is a tree showing the evolutionary interrelationships among various species or other entities that are believed to have a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is a form of a cladogram.
