Please note: We are reviewing Western blot images included in the antibody testing data in our catalog, including those provided by third parties. Unless expressly labeled or annotated as “raw-unedited”, Western blot images included in the antibody testing data in our catalog may have been edited, optimized or otherwise adjusted for presentation.
This antibody reacts with actin from tissue extracts of uterus, ileum, aorta, diaphragm, heart and smooth muscle cells. It recognizes alpha-actin from skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle, and reacts with gamma actin from smooth muscle. This antibody will react with tumors from smooth muscle (leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas) as well as skeletal muscle tumors (rhabdomyomas and rhabdomyosarcomas).
Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling in 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0, followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 min.
The product encoded by this gene belongs to the actin family of proteins, which are highly conserved proteins that play a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha, beta and gamma actin isoforms have been identified, with alpha actins being a major constituent of the contractile apparatus, while beta and gamma actins are involved in the regulation of cell motility. This actin is an alpha actin that is found in skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene cause nemaline myopathy type 3, congenital myopathy with excess of thin myofilaments, congenital myopathy with cores, and congenital myopathy with fiber-type disproportion, diseases that lead to muscle fiber defects.
