Product Name:

Anti-beta Actin antibody - Loading Control

Catalog Number:

ab8229

Beta actin is cytoskeleton protein and is used as a loading control for western blotting. Since it is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells, its expression levels are a measure to reflect uniform loading of samples. We used this molecule as an internal loading control.
