β-actin (ACTB), a member of the actin multigene family, is an isoform of actin-associated with non-muscle cells. ACTB is a housekeeping gene mapped to human chromosome 7p22.1.
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Beta-Actin antibody produced in mouse has been used in western blotting at a dilution of 1:1000.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-actin (ACTB) forms the core of the cell cytoskeleton. The polymerization of β-actin is essential for cell physiology. It may serve as a potential chemotherapeutic agent. Mutation in the ACTB gene is implicated in sensory hearing loss, delayed-onset generalized dystonia and a combination of ventral midline malformations. A loss-of-function mutation in the ACTB gene may cause intellectual disability.

Actin, one of the major filamentous cytoskeletal molecules, is involved in a variety of cellular functions. Whereas an association between muscle actin mutations and skeletal and cardiac myopathies has been well documented, reports of human disease arising from mutations of
Insulin release is tightly controlled by glucose-stimulated calcium (GSCa) through hitherto equivocal pathways. This study investigates TRPC3, a non-selective cation channel, as a critical regulator of insulin secretion and glucose control. TRPC3's involvement in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is studied
Gain-of-function mutations in PIEZO1 cause dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS) or hereditary xerocytosis, an autosomal dominant hemolytic anemia characterized by high reticulocyte count, a tendency to macrocytosis, and mild jaundice, as well as by other variably penetrant clinical features, such as

ACTB encodes β-actin, an abundant cytoskeletal housekeeping protein. In humans, postulated gain-of-function missense mutations cause Baraitser-Winter syndrome (BRWS), characterized by intellectual disability, cortical malformations, coloboma, sensorineural deafness, and typical facial features. To date, the consequences of loss-of-function ACTB mutations have
