Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (acetyl E3) + ACTG2 (acetyl E3) antibody [E184] (AB32575)
Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of A431 (human epidermoid carcinoma) cells labeling alpha smooth muscle Actin (green) with purified ab32575 at 1/500. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. ab150077, Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were counterstained with ab7291, anti-Tubulin (mouse mAb) at 1/1000 followed by ab150120 Alexa Fluor®594 goat anti-mouse secondary (1/1000). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
For negative control 1, rabbit primary antibody and anti-mouse secondary antibody (ab150120) were used. For negative control 2, ab7291 (mouse primary antibody) was used followed by anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab150077).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (acetyl E3) + ACTG2 (acetyl E3) antibody [E184] (AB32575)
The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Paraffin embedded human stomach tissue slides were dewaxed, followed by heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, Epitope Retrieval ER2 Solution) for 20 mins. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 3% H2O2 for 10 mins. The sections were then incubated with ab32575 (1/2000) at room temperature for 30 mins, followed by a ready to use Rabbit specific IHC polymer detection kit HRP/DAB (ab209101). The sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin. The images were taken with a Leica Aperio AT2.
ab32575 was stored at a range of temperatures (+4°C, +22°C, +37°C) for 1 week before being tested in IHC-P. The image shows the staining intensity remains relatively constant across all storage temperatures, demonstrating that antibody activity is not affected.

Western blot - Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (acetyl E3) + ACTG2 (acetyl E3) antibody [E184] (AB32575)
This blot was produced using 4-20% SDS-PAGE containing 15 μg of MCF7 whole cell lysate per lane at 150V for 1hr before being transferred onto a 0.45 μm PVDF membrane at 75V for 1hr. The membrane was then blocked for 1hr using 5% NFDM/TBST, then incubated with ab32575 (1/5000) at room temperature for 1hr. After being washed three times in TBST, the membrane was incubated with Peroxidase conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab97051) at 1/20,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature. The membrane was washed three times again. Then the signal was developed using the ECL technique. ab32575 was stored at a range of temperatures (+4°C, +22°C, +37°C) for 1 week before being tested in WB. The image shows the band intensity remains relatively constant across all storage temperatures, demonstrating that antibody activity is not affected.

Why the change?
It’s part of our commitment to more sustainable packaging solutions, with ambient deliveries using eco-friendly materials such as recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene.
What you need to know
- Ambient shipments come clearly marked on the delivery note.
- No ice will be included in ambient shipments, but mixed orders (ambient and cold-chain items) will still arrive with ice packs to protect temperature-sensitive products.
- Warranty coverage remains fully valid, aligned with our validated shipping method.
- Please store the product as per the datasheet instructions upon receipt.

Biological function summary
ACTG2 contributes to muscle contraction by facilitating the interaction between actin and myosin. It is not considered a part of a protein complex but interacts closely with several other proteins involved in contractile functions. Beyond contraction ACTG2 also supports cellular integrity and shape maintenance. In tissues ACTG2 is involved in activities that require dynamic structural reorganization such as during cellular migration and wound healing highlighting its versatility beyond just a contractile agent.
Pathways
ACTG2 participates in the regulation of the smooth muscle contraction pathway influencing muscle tone and responsiveness to stimuli. The actin-myosin interaction where ACTG2 is involved is critical for the contractile process with other proteins like myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and tropomyosin playing supportive roles. Additionally the integrin signaling pathway is another context where ACTG2 is indirectly involved aiding in the transmission of mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix to the cell.
