General description

Monoclonal Anti-Actin (-Sarcomeric) (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 5C5 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice immunized with purified rabbit striated muscle. Actin is the major cytoskeletal protein in eukaryotic cells.

Immunogen

purified rabbit striated muscle

Application

Anti-Actin (α-Sarcomeric) antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:
  • indirect immunofluorescence staining
  • immunohistochemistry
  • enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunoblotting
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin plays essential roles in a number of cellular processes including cell migration, cytokinesis, vesicle transport and contractile force generation.

Physical form

The product is supplied as a culture supernatant solution containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative. The product contains bovine serum albumin and a human-derived protein.
