Actin (ACTB) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS474080

Actin is a major cytoskeletal protein involved in diverse cellular functions including cell motility, adhesion, and morphology. Six different actin isoforms have been identified in vertebrates. There are four alpha isoforms: skeletal, cardiac, and two smooth… More details

Purity/Purification
Affinity Purified
Specificity
This antibody detects a 42 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of Actin on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of pervanadate treated human C2C12 and SYF cSrc transformed cells, but not in control cells. In addition, this antibody either detects actin cleavage products at 36 and 20 kDa, or cross-reacts with unidentified proteins at these molecular weights in C2C12 cells.

All molecular weights (MW) are confirmed by comparison to MW standards and to western blot mobilites of known proteins with similar MW. "Native" western blots utilizes non-reducing sample buffer (no mercaptoethanol or SDS), normal SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, and no methanol in transfer buffers.
Preparation and Storage
Store at -20°C. Stable for 1 year.
OMIM
102630
3D Structure
ModBase 3D Structure for P60709
Buffer
Rabbit polyclonal, affinity-purified antibody is supplied in 100 uL phosphate buffered saline, 50% glycerol, 1 mg/mL BSA, and 0.05% sodium azide.
Immunogen
Phospho-Actin (Tyr-53) synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues around tyrosine 53 of human β actin. This sequence is identical to similar regions in all four α actins, as well as in γ actin, and is well conserved in actins from most eukaryotic species.
Applications Tested/Suitable for anti-ACTB antibody
Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Application Notes for anti-ACTB antibody
WB: 1:1000
ICC: 1:50
EIA: 1:2000

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% w/v milk , 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween®20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

Western Blot (WB) of anti-ACTB antibody

Western blot analysis of mouse C2C12 cells untreated (lanes 1 & 3), or treated with pervanadate (1 mM) for 30 min (lanes 2 & 4). The blot was probed with anti-Actin (N-terminal) antibody (lanes 1 & 2) or anti-Actin (Tyr-53) antibody (lanes 3 & 4).

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) of anti-ACTB antibody

Immunocytochemical labeling using anti-Actin (N-terminal) and anti-Actin (Tyr-53) polyclonal antibodies in C2C12 cells control (left) or treated with pervanadate (1 mM) for 30 min (middle). The cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized in acetone. Both antibodies were used in the presence of blocking peptide: Actin (N-terminal) peptide (MBS474001) or phospho-Actin (Tyr-53) peptide, respectively (right).

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-ACTB antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

NCBI Summary for ACTB

This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, integrity, and intercellular signaling. The encoded protein is a major constituent of the contractile apparatus and one of the two nonmuscle cytoskeletal actins that are ubiquitously expressed. Mutations in this gene cause Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1, which is characterized by intellectual disability with a distinctive facial appearance in human patients. Numerous pseudogenes of this gene have been identified throughout the human genome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
