Opis

General description

42-43kDa

Actin is a 43kDa highly conserved structural protein. There are three main actin isotypes (alpha,beta and gamma) which show >90% amino-acid (aa) homology between isotypes and >98% homology within members of a particular isotypic group. The majority of the isotype heterogeneity is located in the amino-terminal 30 aa. The different actin isotypes have been shown to behave very differently in vitro and in vivo. Recent studies describe differential subcellular localization of gamma-actin and isotype specific binding of actin associated proteins. {Pardo et al, 1983, Cell 32:1093-1103 & Otey, CA et al 1986 J Cell Biol 102:1726-1737, Bassell et al, 1998, J Neurosci 18:251-265 {available online}. Furthermore, there are at least six actin isoforms in vertebrates: cardiac alpha-actin and skeletal-alpha actin (expressed in striated muscle), vascular alpha-actin and enteric gamma-actin (expressed in smooth muscle), and cytoplasmic beta- and gamma-actins.{http://www.cbil.upenn.edu/MTIR/gammaActin_E-toc.html}

Western Blot: 1:500-1:2,000 or greater; non-specific bands can occur when primary antibody is overloaded. Blocking with purified milk proteins preferred over commerical concentrated milk solutions. Detects a 42-43kDa band. Specificity for gamma actin determined by 2D gel electrophoresis.

Immunocytochemistry: 1:500-1:2,000. Cultured cells fixed with PFA, then permeabilized with methanol.

Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-1:2,000. Tissues frozen and then fixed with PFA followed by Triton permeabilisation. 10% buffered formalin fixed tissues have also been used.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Recognizes actin, gamma. Specificity for gamma actin determined by 2D gel electrophoresis.

Physical form

Serum. Liquid, containing no preservatives.

Unpurified

Preparation Note

Maintain for 1 year at -20°C from date of shipment. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
