Functional Aspects:
Actins are protein cytoskeletal components, and are divided into alpha-actins present in muscle tissue, betaand gamma-actins present in non-muscle cells and a subset of gamma-actins likely present in muscle cells. This antibody is specific for alpha- and gamma-actins of smooth muscle and reacts with myocardium and skeletal muscle, arterial wall muscle fibers, smooth muscle of the G.I. tract, myometrium, prostatic stroma and bladder wall. This antibody should be useful as a muscle marker in normal and uncharacterized tissues. |
