Type check an Any variable for Data Class

I have a class that has a constructor of type Any. I'm passing an instance of a Data Class to that constructor. How can I type check the Any variable to make sure it contains a Data Class?

What I tried so far:

private var myObject : Any

fun dataClassTypeCheck(): Boolean {
      if (myObject is KClass<*>) {return true}
      return false
    }

if you have Class<?>:

MyObjectClass::class.java.kotlin.isData

and if you have instance of class:

myObject.javaCalass.kotlin.isData

If you want to know if myObject has a type which is a data class then it's: myObject::class.isData.

If you want to know if myObject is a KClass object of a data class then it's: myObject.isData
