Humaan alfa-Smooth Muscle ActiCTA2 antilichaam

Alpha-actin-2 also known as actin, aortic smooth muscle or alpha smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA, SMactin, alpha-SM-actin, ASMA) . Actin proteins are major components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. At least six vertebrate actin isoforms have been identified. The cytoplasmic beta- and gamma-actin proteins are referred to as non-muscle actin proteins as they are predominantly expressed in non-muscle cells where they control cell structure and motility. Actin has major functions. Firstly, F-actin polymers form microfilaments - polar intracellular tracks for kinesin motor proteins, allowing the transport of vesicles, organelles and other cargo. Actin is a component of the cytoskeleton and links to alpha-actinin, E-cadherin and beta-catenin at adherens junctions. actin has a role in cell motility through polymerization and depolymerization of fibrils.

The antibody has been tested by ELISA, Western blot, ICC/IF and FACS analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results.
