This Mouse Monoclonal antibody specifically detects Actin alpha (ACTAlpha) in WB, IHC, IHC (p) and IHC (fro). It exhibits reactivity toward Rat, Chicken and Monkey.
Alpha Actin reacts exclusively with alpha-smooth muscle actin which is typical for vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells, but which is also present in myofibroblasts. The epitope that is recognized by alpha-SM1 is Ac-EEED
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Chicken, Goat, Monkey, Quail, Rat, Sheep, Swine, Xenopus
alpha Actin antibody (smooth muscle) was raised in Mouse using a peptide comprising the first 10 amino acids of alpha-smooth muscle actin with an acetylated N-terminus coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin via the C-terminal cysteine (Ac-EEEDSTALVC) as the immunogen.
