Antibody Panel to Actin - Product Review 08

Introduction

Actin is an abundant cytoskeletal protein found in all cells.

The protein's 42kD peptide chain assumes two physical forms: globular actin (G-actin), which may serve as a cytoplasmic storage pool, and fibrous actin (F-actin) which, in conjunction with myosin, generates muscle contraction. In non-muscle cells, actin appears to be involved in a variety of functions such as cell motility, exocytosis and phagocytosis.

Antibody Tools for Detection of Actin

Acris Antibodies offers a broad panel of antibodies to actin which can be used in various detection methods like immunohistochemistry, ELISA or Western blotting. Table 1 shows a list of all available antibodies to actin.
