Description: The spectrin gene family encodes a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins that include spectrins, dystrophins and -actinins. There are four tissue-specific -actinins, namely -actinin-1, -actinin-2, -actinin-3 and -actinin-4, which are localized to muscle and non-muscle cells, including skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle cells, as well as within the cytoskeleton. Each -actinin protein contains one Actin-binding domain, two calponin-homology domains, two EF-hand domains and four spectrin repeats, through which they function as bundling proteins that can cross-link F-Actin, thus anchoring Actin to a variety of intracellular structures. Defects in the gene encoding -actinin-4 are the cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 1 (FSGS1), a common renal lesion characterized by decreasing kidney function and, ultimately, renal failure.

Immunogen: A recombinant full-length human ACTN4 protein was used as the immunogen for this Alpha Actinin 4 antibody.

Storage: Store the Alpha Actinin 4 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
