Description: Actin participates in many important cellular processes, including muscle contraction, cell motility, cell division and cytokinesis, vesicle and organelle movement, cell signaling, and the establishment and maintenance of cell junctions and cell shape. An actin protein's mass is roughly 42-kDa and it is the monomeric subunit of two types of filaments in cells: microfilaments, one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton, and thin filaments, part of the contractile apparatus in muscle cells. It can be present as either a free monomer called G-actin (globular) or as part of a linear polymer microfilament called F-actin (filamentous), both of which are essential for such important cellular functions as the mobility and contraction of cells during cell division.

This antibody recognizes actin of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence common among human muscle actins was used as the immunogen for the Muscle Actin antibody.
Storage: Store the Muscle Actin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
