Host species
Mouse -
Specificity
Clone NH3 recognises human Filamentous actin (F-actin) and reportedly also recognizes Globular actin (G-actin). The antibody binds to the N-terminal region of actin, but not to the extreme N-terminal 40 amino acids. In tissue sections the antibody stains the cytoplasm of macrophages strongly, and gives granular, localised nuclear staining of all cell types. As this is a mouse IgM antibody, an anti-mouse IgM secondary antibody must be used to detect this primary. -

Immunogen
Tissue, cells or virus corresponding to F-actin. Human monocytes and U397 cell line.
-
Epitope
This antibody is reported to recognise actin in the filamentous form with the epitope likely to be located between residues 120 and 226 of the molecule. -

Function
Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in ACTB are a cause of dystonia juvenile-onset (DYTJ) [MIM:607371]. DYTJ is a form of dystonia with juvenile onset. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. DYTJ patients manifest progressive, generalized, dopa-unresponsive dystonia, developmental malformations and sensory hearing loss. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the actin family. -
Post-translational
modificationsISGylated. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs. - Information by UniProt
