Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-alpha Actinin/ACTN1 antibody [EP2527Y] - Loading Control (AB68194)
Immunofluorescence staining of Actinin/ACTN1 using ab68194 in ab277612, which were differentiated for 3 (left panel), 5 (middle panel) and 10 days (right panel) post induction.
The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 mins 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 ab68194 at 0.5 µg/mL and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown. Gamma is adjusted to 1.5 in all channels.

Biological function summary
Alpha Actinin-1 helps maintain the structural integrity of cells by anchoring actin filaments and connecting them to integrins or membrane proteins. It often functions as part of a protein complex interacting with other cytoskeletal components and signaling molecules to stabilize cellular structures. In muscle cells it blends with titin and other sarcomeric proteins to assist muscle contraction. Beyond structural roles it partakes in cellular signaling pathways by interacting with signaling proteins and influencing cellular responses to external stimuli.
Pathways
Alpha Actinin-1 is involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton pathway as well as the integrin signaling pathway. In these pathways it collaborates with proteins such as vinculin and paxillin modulating cell adhesion and movement. Its ability to interact with integrin-linked kinases suggests a role in transducing mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix to downstream signaling cascades.
