Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-beta Actin antibody [EPR21241] - Loading Control (AB213262)
ab213243 staining beta-Actin in HeLa 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 0.01ugml 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).

Western blot - Anti-beta Actin antibody [EPR21241] - Loading Control (AB213262)
ab213262 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.

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.
