Western blot - Anti-beta Actin antibody [AC-15] - Loading Control (AB6276)
Lane 1 : Wild-type HAP1 cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 2 : Beta actin knockout HAP1 cell lysate (20 μg)
Lanes 1 and 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - beta actin, ab6276 observed at 42 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602 observed at 37 kDa.
ab6276 was shown to specifically react with beta actin in wild-type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when beta actin knockout samples were used. Wild-type and beta actin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab6276 (beta actin) and ab181602 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted 1/5000 and 1/10 000 and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) and Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/10 000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

Western blot - Anti-beta Actin antibody [AC-15] - Loading Control (AB6276)
Western Blot of ab6276 (used as loading control) with whole tissue lysate of human grey matter from BA20 (temporal cortex). ab6276 was diluted 1/50000 and incubated with the sample for 16 hours at 4°C. 5 μg of lysate was loaded onto the gel, which was blocked with 5% milk for 1 hour at 20°C. An Alexa Fluor® 680 conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody, diluted 1/5000, was used as the secondary.
Bands below actin in image are synaptophysin (SYN).

ab6276 staining beta Actin in SV40LT-SMC cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked in 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab6276 at a working concentration of 5μg/ml and ab190573, Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 647, shown in red) at 1/250 overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with an anti-mouse AlexaFluor® 488 (ab150117) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Western blot - Anti-beta Actin antibody [AC-15] - Loading Control (AB6276)
MDCK cells induced with increasing amounts of doxycycline to control expression of the gene of interest. All cells were normalized for loading with an albumin protein standard assay. Anti-beta actin (ab6276) was used at a concentration of 1 : 5000 in a milk blocking solution. B-actin blotting confirms the albumin assay in showing that an equal amount of lysate was loaded in each lane.

Beta-Actin (β-actin) is a highly conserved protein that plays a crucial role in cell motility, structure and integrity. It is one of the six actin isoforms found in humans and is a major component of the cytoskeleton in non-muscle cells. β-actin is involved in various cellular processes, including cell division, signaling and maintaining cell shape. Due to its ubiquitous expression and stability, β-actin is commonly used as a loading control in western blotting (WB) and other protein quantification assays. Understanding β-actin's functions and interactions is essential for studying cellular dynamics and various physiological processes.

Biological function summary
Beta actin contributes to the maintenance of cell shape and is an important player in cell division and muscle contraction. It forms part of a larger actin filaments network often associating with other proteins to form the actin cytoskeleton complex. This complex supports cellular processes such as signaling intracellular trafficking and positioning of organelles. The dynamic polymerization and depolymerization of actin filaments are critical for cellular functions.
Pathways
Beta actin functions in the regulation of important biological pathways such as the Rho/Rac/Cdc42 signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. These pathways are essential in numerous cellular activities including cell morphology and gene transcription. Beta actin closely interacts with proteins like myosin and tropomyosin which facilitate its role in muscle contraction and cell division and proteins such as Rac and Cdc42 which help govern cytoskeletal dynamics and cellular responses to extracellular stimuli.
