General description

Monoclonal Anti-Tropomyosin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Tropomyosin is a rigid rod-shaped protein closely associated with actin filaments. Non-muscle forms of tropomyosin have been identified in a wide range of cell types. Tropomyosin is made of two α helical polypeptide chains.

Immunogen

chicken gizzard tropomyosin.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Tropomyosin has been used:
  • in immunofluorescent labelling
  • in immunohistochemistry
  • in western blotting
  • in immunoblotting

Mouse monoclonal clone TM311 anti-Tropomyosin antibody is used to tag tropomyosin for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques such as immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of tropomyosin in cytoskeletal structures.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tropomyosin together with troponin, regulate the binding of myosin to actin. Tropomyosin is a dimeric coiled-coil protein forming continuous polymers along the myosin-binding groove of actin. Various tropomyosin isoforms help to confer structure and function to actins in the cytoskeleton and in striated muscle function.
