ab190567 staining 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 ab190567 at a 1/50 dilution (shown in red) and ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor^® 488), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in NIH3T3 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).

Muscle Actin also known as ACTA1 is a protein that plays a significant role in muscle contraction. It has a molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa. This protein is primarily found in skeletal muscle tissues. Muscle Actin exists in two forms: G-actin a globular monomer and F-actin a filamentous polymer that forms actin filaments. These filaments provide structural support and are involved in muscle contraction through their interaction with myosin.

Biological function summary

Muscle Actin interacts with myosin to facilitate muscle contraction. It is an important component of the thin filament within the sarcomere the basic unit of muscle fiber. Muscle Actin is part of a complex and this complex includes other important proteins like tropomyosin and troponin. These proteins regulate the interaction between actin and myosin enabling the muscle contraction process. Muscle Actin's polymerization and depolymerization dynamics are important for the regulation of cellular movement and structural integrity.

Pathways

Muscle Actin is essential for the actin-myosin contractile machinery in muscle cells which is part of the sarcomere assembly pathway. This process involves other proteins such as myosin heavy chain and tropomyosin which are important for muscle contraction. Another important pathway is the Rho GTPase signaling pathway which controls actin filament assembly and is involved in a variety of cellular processes including muscle contraction and cell motility.

Muscle Actin mutations link to certain muscle-related diseases such as nemaline myopathy and congenital myopathies. Nemaline myopathy involves the presence of rod-like structures in muscle fibers and it results from anomalies in actin filaments. Muscle Actin also associates with cardiac muscle conditions when there are mutations affecting cardiac actin structure or function. This reveals the connection between Muscle Actin tropomyosin and troponin in muscle contraction efficiency and structural integrity contributing to these diseases' pathogenesis.
