Beta Actin Antibody

Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. In vertebrates 3 main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. The alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins coexist in most cell types as components of the cyto-skeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility. Beta actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure and integrity. Beta actins are cytoplasmic proteins. Anti-Actin is a loading control antibody and is critical for the correct interpretation of your western blot. Antibodies to loading controls are used to normalize the levels of protein detected by confirming that protein loading is uniform across the gel. Anti-beta Actin antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
