Anti-β-Actin–FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Uses

Monoclonal mouse anti-actin antibody was used as a loading control for western blot analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins from rat dorsal root ganglion cocultures.

General Description

In staining of chicken gizzard ultrathin tissue cryosections, the antibody labels the dense bodies and longitudinal channels linking consecutive dense bodies that are also occupied by desmin and the membrane-associated dense plaque. It does not stain adult cardiac and skeletal muscles except for traces due to contaminations of the sample with non-muscle cells, or if embryonic tissue is being used.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actins is a eukaryotic protein. It belongs to the major cytoskeletal protein family and majorly associated with cell motility. It is ubiquitously present in cytoplasm and involved in a myriad of cellular process including locomotion, secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, phagocytosis, and cytokinesis. It is expressed in mammals and birds and at least six isoforms have been identified.
