General description

Anti-Actin (Ab-1), mouse monoclonal, clone JLA20, recognizes the ~ 42 kDa α-, β-, and γ isoforms of actin. It is validated for Western blotting and immunofluorescence.
Mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with NS-1 mouse myeloma cells supplied as ascites. Recognizes the ~42 kDa α-, β- and γ-isoforms of actin. Supplied with goat anti-mouse IgM conjugated to horseradish peroxidase.
Recognizes the ~42 kDa α-, β-, and γ isoforms of actin. Useful as a positive control antibody.

    All animal cell lines

    Other Notes

    Actin is found in all animal cells. Actin monomers have a molecular weight of ~42 kDa. For best results, use the anti-mouse IgM HRP conjugate supplied with the anti-actin antibody. Useful for normalizing protein loading. Antibodies should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

    Gadd45a is a p53-regulated gene whose protein product, like p53, is involved in maintenance of genome stability. Specifically, deletion of Gadd45a leads to extensive aneuploidy as a consequence of centrosome amplification and subsequent abnormal segregation of chromosomes during mitosis. S-phase

    Obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation that contributes to insulin resistance. Zinc finger protein 36 (Zfp36) is an mRNA-binding protein that reduces inflammation by binding to cytokine transcripts and promoting their degradation. We hypothesized that myeloid-specific deficiency of Zfp36

    Telomerase activity contributes to cell immortalization by avoiding telomere shortening at each cell division; indeed, its catalytic subunit telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is overexpressed in many tumors, including human oral squamous cell carcinoma (hOSCC). In these tumors, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
