Mouse anti-Human Actin Alpha (Sarkomeric) (unconjugated), Clone 5C5, IgM, Ready-to-use
Ready-to-use Antibody for Immunohistochemistry
Background
Actin and myosin represent the two major cytoskeletal proteins responsible for cell motility. Besides muscle contraction, these proteins are also involved in many other movement processes of single cells and organs, e.g. locomotion, secretion, phagocytosis, cell division, etc. Fibrous actin molecules form thin filaments in the contractile system of cells. Six electrophoretically characterized isoforms are found in muscle cells. Smooth and striated muscle have different isoforms of alpha-actin. Detection of sarcomeric or smooth muscle actin can also be informative in cell differentiation of tumors.
