Overlay histogram showing SV40LT-SMC cells stained with ab209435 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab209435, 1/5000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Phycoerythrin (ab209478) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20 mW Solid State Blue Laser (488nm) and 585/40 bandpass filter.

This antibody gave a positive signal in SV40LT-SMC cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

Alpha smooth muscle Actin also known as ACTG2 is an important protein in muscle contraction and cellular structure. It is most commonly found in smooth muscle cells and is not typically expressed in striated muscle. This protein is part of the actin family and has a molecular mass of approximately 42 kDa. ACTG2 plays a role in forming microfilaments which are key components of the muscle contractile machinery. In smooth muscle tissues such as those found in the intestines and blood vessels ACTG2 is often detected together with other cytoskeletal and regulatory proteins.
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.

ACTG2 is associated with conditions such as megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) and various vascular disorders. Mutations in the ACTG2 gene can disrupt normal muscle function leading to defective peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract as seen in MMIHS. The connection between ACTG2 and myosin regulatory light chains illustrates how changes in its function can impact muscle contractility and lead to disease. In vascular disorders abnormal expression of ACTG2 is often linked to impaired vessel tone and blood flow regulation.
