Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
IHC-P: 1/50.
IHC-Fr: 1/50.
For immunohistochemistry incubate ab14130 for 30-60 minutes at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. If DAB is used as a chromogen for immunoperoxidase staining, a further dilution of the primary antibody may be required.

Not 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.
