Takara, 631076, Lenti-X™ Actin Dynamics Monitoring Kit

Use this kit to monitor the highly dynamic behavior of the actin filament system in live cells. The Lenti-X Actin Dynamics Monitoring Kit includes lentiviral vectors encoding actin fusions to DD-AcGFP1 (green, destabilized) and mCherry (red), as well as the DD's stabilizing ligand Shield1. Once your cells have been infected with the included vectors, DD-AcGFP1-Actin is continuously targeted for degradation by the proteasomes, unless the cells are cultured in medium containing the stabilizing ligand Shield1. By contrast, mCherry-Actin (which does not contain the DD) has normal stability and is constitutively present in the cell.
