Description
23081-1-AP targets Alpha smooth muscle actin in WB, IHC, IF, IP, ELISA applications and shows reactivity with human, mouse, rat samples.
Background Information
ACTA2 (also known as α-smooth muscle actin or α-SMA) belongs to the actin family. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. ACTA2 is primarily expressed in vascular smooth muscle and anti-ACTA2 is commonly used to marker smooth muscle cells. This antibody is specific to the ACTA2. It selectively stains the vascular smooth muscle but not cardiac or skeletal muscle.
