Gene Information

human ... ACTB(60)

General description

Actin β (ACTB) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 7p22.1. ACTB is a ubiquitously expressed cytoskeletal protein.
This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, and integrity. This actin is a major constituent of the contractile apparatus and one of the two nonmuscle cytoskeletal actins. (provided by RefSeq)

Immunogen

ACTB (AAH01301, 1 a.a. ~ 375 a.a) full-length recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-ACTB antibody produced in mouse has been used in western blots and immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin β (ACTB) is an endogenous housekeeping gene. It is extensively used as a reference gene/protein in quantifying expression levels in tumors. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of Baraitser–Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome (BWCFF). Down regulated expression of the gene has been observed in liver, melanoma, renal, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, esophageal, lung, breast, prostate, ovarian cancers, leukemia and lymphoma.
