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.
Monoclonal Anti-b-Actin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the AC-15 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. ACTB (actin beta) gene codes for β-actin. It is a cytoskeletal housekeeping protein. It is present in the cytoplasm. This gene is located on human chromosome 7p22.1. Actin is a eukaryotic protein. It belongs to the major cytoskeletal protein family.
Immunogen
slightly modified β-cytoplasmic actin N-terminal peptide, Ac-Asp-Asp-Asp-Ile-Ala-Ala-Leu-Val-Ile-Asp-Asn-Gly-Ser-Gly-Lys, conjugated to KLH.
Application
Anti-β-Actin-FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:
- western blotting
- immunohistochemistry
- flow cytometry
- direct immunofluorescent staining
- dual immuno-fluorescent staining
Monoclonal mouse anti-actin antibody was used as a loading control for western blot analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins from rat dorsal root ganglion cocultures.
Monoclonal mouse anti-actin was used as a loading control for western blot analysis of rat liver protein lysates.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Actin modulates cell growth, migration and the G-actin pool. Mutations in ACTB leads to pleiotropic developmental disorder.
Actins are 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.
