Description
Product Characteristics: In vertebrates 3 main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. Alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. Beta and gamma actins coexist in most cell types as components of the cyto-skeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility. Beta actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure and integrity. Beta actins are cytoplasmic proteins. Anti-Actin is a loading control antibody and is critical for the correct interpretation of your western blot. Beta-Actin Loading Control Antibody is used to normalize the levels of protein detected by confirming that protein loading is uniform across the gel.
Synonyms: Actin Antibody, Loading Control Antibody, beta actin, ß actin, anti-beta actin antibody
Target Information: This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, and integrity. This actin is a major constituent of the contractile apparatus and one of the two nonmuscle cytoskeletal actins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
