    Application CommentsDoes not recognize actin from fibroblasts (β- and γ-cytoplasmic), striated muscle (α-sarcomeric), or myocardium (α-myocardial).Prolonged fixation in buffered formalin destroys the epitope. The antibody is specific for the α-smooth muscle isoform of actin. This antibody is also reported to work for immunoblotting. Variables associated with assay conditions will dictate the proper working dilution.

    DescriptionMouse monoclonal antibody. Recognizes α-actin in smooth muscle cells.
    BackgroundActin is a cytoskeletal protein. Smooth muscle actin forms smaller, less ordered contractile units than actin from skeletal or cardiac muscle. The activity and state of assembly of smooth muscle actin is controlled by calcium-regulated phosphorylation of one of the myosin light chains.
