Applications

The Abpromise guarantee

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab20272 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Abreviews Notes
WB (17)
1/5000. Detects a band of approximately 42 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 42 kDa).Can be blocked with Human beta Actin peptide (ab13772). Abcam strongly recommends blocking and incubation using 5% BSA as we have found that use of 5% milk seems to drastically reduce the intensity of the signal obtained. Please refer to WB image for further details.

Target

  • Function

    Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.
  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in ACTB are a cause of dystonia juvenile-onset (DYTJ) [MIM:607371]. DYTJ is a form of dystonia with juvenile onset. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. DYTJ patients manifest progressive, generalized, dopa-unresponsive dystonia, developmental malformations and sensory hearing loss.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the actin family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    ISGylated.
  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs.
  • Target information above from: UniProt accession P60709 The UniProt Consortium
    The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) in 2010
    Nucleic Acids Res. 38:D142-D148 (2010) .

    The membrane 1-4 was blocked in 5% BSA (1 hour). The membrane 5-8 was blocked in 5% MILK (1 hour). Abcam routinely uses 5% BSA to block, however following recent customer feedback our labs investigated the effect of 5% milk blocking. We can now confirm that milk is not a suitable blocking agent for this antibody and significantly decreases the signal on the membrane.
