Background: Actin

Actin is a 43kDa filament protien that is ubiquitously expressed by all eukaryotic cells. This wide expression makes Actin an ideal "housekeeping gene", which may even account for up to 50% of total cellular protein. Actin microfilaments can form both stable and labile structures and are crucial components of microvilli and the contractile apparatus of muscle cells. While lower eukaryotes, such as yeast, have only one Actin gene, higher eukaryotes have several isoforms encoded by a family of genes. At least six types of Actin are present in mammalian tissues and fall into three classes. alpha Actin expression is limited to various types of muscle, whereas beta and gamma are the principle constituents of filaments in other tissues. Members of the small GTPase family regulate the organization of the Actin cytoskeleton. Rho controls the assembly of Actin stress fibers and focal adhesion, Rac regulates Actin filament accumulation at the plasma membrane and Cdc42 stimulates formation of filopodia. Actin antibodies are most commonly used as controls for protein standardization or in cytoskeletan or cell cycle research.

FAQs for Actin Antibody - Azide and BSA Free

Showing  1 - 1 of 1 FAQ Showing All

  • Q: I am interested in buying an Actin antibody to use in Western blot as a loading control. We would like to use it on rat heart samples. Can you make a recommendation?

    A: I would recommend the Actin Antibody (mAbGEa) catalog # NB100-74340. This antibody works great as a loading control in Western blot and has been validated for use with rat samples.
