Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Actin is a highly conserved protein that is a major component of both the cytoskeletal and contractile structures in all cell types. Its expression is related to the type of differentiation and to the functional state of cells and tissues. Actin can be found in two different forms of aggregation, the globular or the fibrillar state, and at least six distinct isoforms occur in vertebrates. The actins exhibit over 90% sequence homology, but each isoform has a unique NH2-terminal sequence. The isoforms are comprised of three alpha actins (skeletal, cardiac, smooth), one beta actin (beta-non-muscle) and two gamma actins (gamma smooth muscle and gamma non-muscle).
Monoclonal Anti-Actin, Smooth Muscle, reacts with human, monkey, chicken, rat, and mouse smooth muscle actin.

Monoclonal Anti-Actin, Smooth Muscle (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the hybridoma CGA7 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with partially purified chicken gizzard actin. α-actin 2 (ACTA2) codes for a smooth muscle specific α-actin.

The antibody specifically recognizes α and γ smooth muscle actin.

Immunogen

Biochem./physiol. Wirkung

Actin and myosin are constituents of many cell types and are involved in a myriad of cellular processes including locomotion, secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, phagocytosis and cytokinesis. Mutations in alpha-actin 2 (ACTA2) results in thoracic aortic aneurysm, Moyamoya disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome. It plays a functional role in the smooth muscle of non-vascular tissues.
