Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ β-actin provides the necessary components for using β-actin as a normalization control in TaqMan™ real-time PCR applications employing human nucleic acid. Either DNA or RNA can be used as a target template.

• Pre-designed primers and FAM-labeled TaqMan™ probe eliminate assay design

• Rapid assay development guidelines can minimize optimization time

• Separate components provide flexibility in assay set-up

Notes on Use

The TaqMan™ β-actin Detection Reagent kit can be used with TaqMan™ One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix Reagents, TaqMan™ EZ RT-PCR Core Reagents, or the TaqMan™ Gold RT-PCR Reagents for one-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I use the TaqMan β-actin Detection Reagents (Cat. No. 401846) as an endogenous control for my gene expression studies?

The TaqMan β-actin Detection Reagents were designed to amplify genomic DNA, and thus are not recommended for use as an endogenous control for gene expression studies. However, we do offer other TaqMan assay reagents that were specifically designed for that application. Two examples are: Human ACTB (Beta Actin) Endogenous Control, Cat. No. 4310881E (TAMRA probe) or Cat. No. 4326315E (MGB probe).

There are many factors to consider when validating a specific endogenous control. For additional information on designing gene expression assays and controls, please refer to the following documents: "Protocol: TaqMan Human Endogenous Control Plate", and User Bulletin #2: "Relative Quantitation of Gene Expression". You can find copies of these documents on our website by entering the titles in the main Search field.

Can TaqMan Beta-actin Detection Reagents, Cat. No. 401846, be used for both human and mouse genomic DNA?

This particular kit was designed for human DNA. Our current Beta-actin Detection Reagents are designed for human targets only. Please check our online search tools for other Beta actin reagents for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) or rat (Rn) targets.

Where can I find the TaqMan Actin Detection Reagents (P/N 401846) manual?

Complete instructions for the TaqMan B-actin Detection Reagents can be found in the manual titled "TaqMan PCR Reagent Kit with Controls" on the product page.

Abstract
In situ detection of starvation-induced autophagy.
Authors:Martinet W, De Meyer GR, Andries L, Herman AG, Kockx MM,
Journal:J Histochem Cytochem
PubMed ID:16148314
Autophagy is a regulated bulk degradation process involved in many different human pathologies. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is currently the only reliable method for monitoring autophagy in situ. Because TEM is labor intensive, we questioned whether useful marker proteins can be found for unambiguous detection of autophagy in tissue via ... More
