Alpha Actin Antibody / ACTA2 (smooth muscle)

• Catalog Number: orb385893
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Actins are a family of proteins which are highly conserved and play a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha, beta and gamma actin isoforms have been identified, with alpha actins being a major constituent of the contractile apparatus, while beta and gamma actins are involved in the regulation of cell motility.
