Description 

Mouse monoclonal [AC-40] to Actin

Immunogen 

Synthetic peptide: SGPSIVHRKCF, corresponding to C terminal amino acids 365-375 of Human Actin, attached to Multiple Antigen Peptide (MAP) backbone.
BLAST 'SGPSIVHRKCF' with BLAST the sequence with ExPASy or BLAST the sequence with NCBI

Reacts with 
(species key)

Hu, Ms, Rat, Carp, Chk, Cow, Dog, Goat, Gpig, Hm, Pig, Rb, Shp

Specificity 

The antibody does not react with the epitope on the N-terminal end of actin.

Epitope 

Monoclonal anti-Actin recognizes an epitope located on the C-terminal end of actin. This epitope is conserved in all actin isoforms.

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.

ab11003 staining human fibroblast cells by ELISA (Sandwich-capture). Cells were blocked in 1% BSA for 1 hour at 25°C. The  primary antibody ab11003 (Capture antibody) was diluted 1/3000 and incubated with sample for 12 hours at 4°C. ab5694 was used as secondary and  a HRP conjugated goat polyclonal to mouse, diluted 1/1000 was used as detection antibody.
