Actin/ actin β(ACTB) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 7p15-p12. In mammals, actin protein consists of six different isoforms encoded by separate genes. The four isoforms αskeletal-actin, αcardiac-actin, αsmooth-actin, and γ smooth-actin are expressed in skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. The other two isoforms, β cyto-actin and γ cyto-actin are ubiquitously expressed.
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous levels of total ACTIN protein.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the N terminal of Arabidopsis thaliana actin
Biochem/physiol Actions
Actin plays a vital role in various cellular processes, such as cell division, migration, junction formation, chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, vesicle trafficking, and cell shape regulation. Polymorphism in the smooth muscle α-actin (ACTA2) is associated with the development of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections.

Plants adapt to heat via thermotolerance pathways in which the activation of protein folding chaperones is essential. In eukaryotes, protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) facilitate the folding of nascent and misfolded proteins in the secretory pathway by catalyzing the formation and

Loss of muscle proteins increases the morbidity and mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and there are no reliable preventive treatments. We uncovered a STAT3/CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein-δ to myostatin signaling pathway that activates muscle protein degradation in mice with

Calcineurin B-like (CBL)-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) play a central role in Ca2+ signalling and promote drought tolerance in plants. The CIPK gene family in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.), a major food crop affected by drought, has not previously been
