beta-Actin Antibody (AC-15) Summary

Immunogen
This beta-Actin Antibody (AC-15) was made to a slightly modified Beta-cytoplasmic actin N-terminal peptide, Ac-Asp-Asp-Asp-Ile-Ala-Ala-Leu-Val-Ile-Asp-Asn-Gly-Ser-Gly-Lys, conjugated to KLH.
Epitope
N-terminus of the beta isoform of actin.
Specificity
In staining of chicken gizzard ultrathin tissue cryosections, the antibody labels the dense bodies and longitudinal channels linking consecutive dense bodies that are also occupied by desmin and the membrane-associated dense plaque. It does not stain adult cardiac and skeletal muscles except for traces due to contaminations of the sample with non-muscle cells, or if embryonic tissue is being used. The epitope recognized by the antibody is resistant to formalin-fixing and paraffin-embedding.

Reactivity Notes

The antibody cross reacts with beta-actin expressing cells in carp, leech tissues (Hirudo medicinalis), ground squirrel. Does not cross react with adult cardiac, skeletal muscle, drosophila or amoeba beta actin. Mammal reactivity and Hamster reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 25130694 and 24478435 respectively). Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Additional Mouse on Mouse blocking steps may be required for IHC and ICC experiments. Please contact Technical Support for more information. Human reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID:32938681) Use in Turkey reported in scientific literature (PMID:27816932).

Background

Actin is a highly conserved protein involved in cell motility, structure, and integrity. Six functional actin isoforms exist and were named based on their electrophoretic mobility and distribution including alpha-cardiac muscle actin (aCAA), alpha-skeletal muscle actin (aSKA), alpha-smooth muscle actin (aSMA), beta-cytoplasmic actin (bCYA), gamma-cytoplasmic actin (gCYA) and gamma-smooth muscle actin (gSMA) (1). The cytoplasmic isoforms, beta-actin and gamma-actin, are nearly identical, differing by only 4 amino acids at the N-terminus with a theoretical molecular weight of 42 kDa (2). Beta-actin is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells and considered a housekeeping gene which is frequently used as a loading control for assays involving protein detection, such as Western blotting (3,4).
