Uses
Monoclonal mouse anti-actin was used as a loading control for western blot analysis of rat liver protein lysates.
General Description
The ACTB (β-actin) gene is mapped to human chromosome 7p22.1. β-Actin is the most abundant protein localized to the cytoplasm. ACTB is expressed ubiquitously. Actin is one of the most conserved eukaryotic proteins, it is expressed in mammals and birds. Four of the actin isoforms represent the differentiation markers of muscle tissues and two are found in almost all cells. Anti-β-Actin antibody, Mouse Monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the AC-15 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a slightly modified synthetic b-cytoplasmic actin N-terminal peptide Ac-Asp-Asp-Asp-Ile-Ala-Ala-Leu-Val-Ile-Asp-Asn-Gly-Ser-Gly-Lys, conjugated to KLH.
In staining of chicken gizzard ultrathin tissue cryosections, the antibody labels the dense bodies and longitudinal channels linking consecutive dense bodies that are also occupied by desmin and the membrane-associated dense plaque. It does not stain adult cardiac and skeletal muscles except for traces due to contaminations of the sample with non-muscle cells, or if embryonic tissue is being used.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The two major cytoskeletal proteins implicated in cell motility are actin and myosin. Actin and myosin are constituents of many cell types and are involved in myriad of cellular process including locomotion, secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, phagocytosis, and cytokinesis. ACTB (β-actin) is crucial for organogenesis, especially for the development of brain, kidney and heart. It is responsible for maintaining cell proliferation, migration and shape. Actin protein is essential for the formation of mature platelets. β?Actin plays a key role in embryonic development. Upregulation of β-actin stimulates membrane protrusions and helps in cellular motility. The encoded protein β-Actin mediates fibroblast migration in mouse and thereby control connective tissue tension.Actin is a cytoskeletal protein that regulates cell motility, secretion, phagocytosis and cytokinesis. The NH2-terminal of actin may function as an antigen. This terminal may also modulate actin interactions and may associate with proteins such as myosin.
