Actin polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Quantity: 100 µg

Background:
Actin, a highly conserved protein, is a major component of both the cytoskeletal and contractile structures in the cell types. It varies in amount, being related to the type of differentiation and to the functional state of cells and tissues. The actins exhibit over 90% sequence homology, but each isoform has a unique NH2-terminal sequence. The isoforms are comprised of three alpha-actin, one beta-actin, two gamma-actin. Because the amino acid sequence of the C-terminal is the same for almost all actins, this antibody has been raised using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 11 residues.

Description:
Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Actin, cytoplasmic 2 (ACTG1) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human, Mouse, Rat.

Synonyms:
Gamma-actin
