General description
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.
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. A synthetic actin C-terminal peptide, attached to Multiple Antigen Peptide (MAP) backbone was used as the immunogen. The isotype is determined using Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Isotyping Reagents, Catalog No. ISO2

Immunogen
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Actin antibody produced in mouse has been used in the detection of actin in human bronchial epithelial cells using immunohistochemical assays. It has also been used in immunofluorescence detection in cardiomyocytes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The actin in cells of various species and tissues are very similar in their immunological and physical properties characterized by electrophoresis and amino acid sequence analysis. They mediate cytoskeletal remodeling during T cell activation. Mutation in the γ-actin and β-actin gene is associated with a developmental disorder called Baraitser-Winter syndrome. Mutation in the γ-actin leads to hearing loss.
