Beta Actin Antibody / ACTB

• Catalog Number: orb1823016
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: All eukaryotic cells express Actin, which often constitutes as much as 50% of total cellular protein. Actin filaments can form both stable and labile structures and are crucial components of microvilli and the contractile apparatus of muscle cells. While lower eukaryotes, such as yeast, have only one Actin gene, higher eukaryotes have several isoforms encoded by a family of genes. At least six types of Actin are present in mammalian tissues and fall into three classes. Alpha-Actin expression is limited to various types of muscle, whereas Beta-Actin and Gamma-Actin are the principle constituents of filaments in other tissues. Members of the small GTPase family regulate the organization of the Actin cytoskeleton. Rho controls the assembly of Actin stress fibers and focal adhesion. Rac regulates Actin filament accumulation at the plasma membrane. Cdc42 stimulates formation of filopodia.
• Clonality: Monoclonal

IHC staining of FFPE human spleen tissue with Beta Actin antibody (ACTB/2370). Inset: PBS used in place of primary Ab (secondary Ab negative control). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH9 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA for 20 min and allow to cool before testing.

SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free Beta Actin antibody (ACTB/2370) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
