Description
Anti-ACTA2/ACTG2 Antibody (MACO0472)
The ACTA2/ACTG2 Monoclonal Antibody (MAC00472) is a valuable tool for researchers studying smooth muscle cells and their function. This antibody, generated using hybridoma technology, specifically targets the ACTA2 and ACTG2 proteins, which are involved in the contraction and regulation of smooth muscle tissue.With high specificity and sensitivity, this monoclonal antibody is ideal for use in various applications such as immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting. It enables researchers to visualize and analyze the expression and localization of ACTA2 and ACTG2 in different cell types and tissues, providing valuable insights into smooth muscle function and dysfunction.
ACTA2 and ACTG2 are critical for maintaining vascular and visceral smooth muscle contractility, and dysregulation of these proteins can lead to diseases such as vascular disorders and gastrointestinal motility disorders. By using the ACTA2/ACTG2 Monoclonal Antibody (MAC00472), researchers can further explore the roles of these proteins in health and disease, potentially leading to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

IHC image of MACO0472 diluted at 1:100 and staining in paraffin-embedded human heart tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a Goat anti-mouse IgG polymer labeled by HRP and visualized using 0.05% DAB. |
UniProt Protein Function: | ACTA2: Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others. Up-regulated in response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection. Belongs to the actin family. |

NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the actin family of proteins, which are highly conserved proteins that play a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha, beta and gamma actin isoforms have been identified, with alpha actins being a major constituent of the contractile apparatus, while beta and gamma actins are involved in the regulation of cell motility. This actin is an alpha actin that is found in skeletal muscle. Defects in this gene cause aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 6. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008] |
