General description

Monoclonal Anti-Actin (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the AC-40 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Actin has six isoforms. Four of them represent the differentiation markers of muscle tissues and two are found practically in all cells. There are three α-actins (α-skeletal, α-cardiac and α-smooth muscle), one β-actin (β-nonmuscle) and two γ-actins (γ-smooth muscle and γ-nonmuscle).
The antibody recognizes an epitope located on the C-terminal end of actin conserved in all actin isoforms. It specifically labels actin in a wide variety of tissues and species. The epitope recognized by the antibody is resistant to formalin-fixation and paraffin-embedding. Zinc-formalin, B5, ethanol, methacarn, Brunnel′s or Bouin′s solutions may also be used as fixatives.

Immunogen

synthetic actin C-terminal peptide, attached to a Multiple Antigen Peptide (MAP) backbone

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Actin-Cy3 antibody has been used in immunofluorescent staining.
Monoclonal anti-actin antibody was used for western blot analysis of Cos-7 cell lysates to ensure equal protein loading.
Western blot analysis of MDCK cell lysates were performed using monoclonal anti-actin antibody as a primary antibody.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin and myosin are constituents of many cell types and are involved in a myriad of cellular processes including locomotion, secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, phagocytosis and cytokinesis.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.
