General notes
This product was made using synthetic libraries and phage display technology.
This antibody is a recombinant chimeric antibody. Rabbit chimeric monoclonal antibody (Human Fab/ Rabbit Fc).
If this antibody is used as a loading control in WB and if the signal of the gamma actin is close to the protein of interest to be detected, we recommend cutting the membrane between the expected signals of beta actin and gamma actin and to stain the two parts containing the loading control and the protein of interest separately.

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

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-beta Actin antibody [EPR21241] (ab213262)
ab213243 staining beta-Actin in NIH3T3 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab213262 at 0.5ugml then detected with an Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab150081) at a 1/1000 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue), and ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in red).
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 42 kDaab213262 was shown to react with ACTNB (beta actin) when tested against HAP1 wild-type and HAP1 ACTNB (beta actin) knockout cells. ACTNB wild-type and knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE and incubated with ab213262. Incomplete reduction of signal was seen in the ACTNB (beta actin) knockout samples at beta actin's expected molecular weight. SDS-PAGE of gamma actin recombinant protein and incubation with ab213262 showed cross-reactivity to gamma actin.
ab213262 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1ug/ml and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
