    Product Info

  • Product Name Actin, aortic smooth muscle, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
  • Product Description google Mouse anti-Actin, aortic smooth muscle Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
  • Alternative Names ACTA2; ACTSA; ACTVS;
  • Application(s) IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, WB
  • Antibody Host Mouse
  • Antibody Type Monoclonal
  • Specificity The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human; mouse; rat;
  • Species Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat
  • Immunogen Description A synthetic peptide of 10 amino acids corresponding to the N-terminus of alpha smooth muscle actin. This antibody reacts only with alpha smooth muscle actin and does not react with actin from striated muscle (alpha-sarcomeric) and myocardium (alpha-myocardial). It also does not react with beta and gamma actins.

    Specifications

  • Product Description Mouse anti-Actin, aortic smooth muscle Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
  • Application(s) IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, WB
  • Application Details Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 2.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human smooth muscle actin has a predicted length of 377 residues and a MW of 42 kDa. A concentration of 0.1-0.5 µg/mL is recommended to detect alpha smooth muscle actin in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues as well as formalin/acetone fixed tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
