Application

Protein samples isolated from cardiac sections or cardiac myocytes were subjected to western blot using monoclonal mouse anti-actin antibody as the primary at a dilution of 1:2000.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)Western Blotting (1 paper)

Monoclonal Anti-Actin, Cardiac antibody is suitable for use in immunocytochemistry, immunoblot (approx. 42 kDa), indirect ELISA, and western blot. The antibody may also be used in immunohistochemistry (using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections, or using a conc. of 10-20 µg/mL in digested rat heart tissue).

General description

Actins are cytoskeletal proteins that are widely expressed in eukaryotes. These proteins primarily regulate various cellular functions such as muscle contraction, mRNA synthesis and apoptosis among many others. ACTC1 is the predominant actin isoform form in adult cardiac tissues and alterations in this isoform have been associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease . Monoclonal Anti-Actin, Cardiac antibody is specific for human, bovine, chicken, rat, and mouse cardiac α actin.

Immunogen

synthetic NH₂-terminal decapeptide of cardiac isoform of actin.

Physical form
