Product Name 

Actin antibody [ACTN05 (C4)]

 

See all Actin antibodies (21)...

Product type 

Primary antibodies

Description 

Mouse monoclonal [ACTN05 (C4)] to Actin

Immunogen 

Chicken gizzard actin.

Reacts with 
(species key)

Hu, Ms, Rat, Chk, Cow, D dis, Dog, Phy p, Pig, Rb

Specificity 

This antibody reacts with all six known vertebrate isoforms of actin. It also reacts with two cytoplasmic actins (beta, lambda) which are highly homologous to one another but which differ from the muscle actins at about 25 amino acidresidues.

Tested applications 
(see key)

ICC/IF, IHC-P, IP, WB

Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ICC/IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution (see Bryce et al). Fix cells with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilize with chilled methanol.
IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 0.5 - 1 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol (10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min).
IP: Use at 2µg/mg of lysate (use Protein G). This has been tested in IP on "denatured" cell lysate (treated with 5% SDS).
WB: Use at a concentration of 0.5 µg/ml for 2hrs at RT. Detects a band of approximately 42 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 42 kDa).


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

The two major cytoskeletal proteins implicated in cell motility are actin and myosin. Actin and myosin are constituents of many cell types and are involved in a myriad of cellular processes including locomotion, secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, phagocytosis and cytokinesis. Although actin is one of the most conserved eukaryotic proteins, it is expressed in mammals and birds as at least six isoforms characterized by electrophoresis and amino acid sequence analysis. Four of them represent the differentiation markers of muscle tissues and two are found in practically all cells.
