Target Details for Actin

Target: Actin (ACTA1) (Actin, alpha 1, Skeletal Muscle (ACTA1))

Alternative Name: ACTA1

Background:

Background: Actin, a highly conserved protein, is a major component of both the cytoskeletal and contractile structures in the cell types. It varies in amount, being related to the type of differentiation and to the functional state of cells and tissues. The actins exhibit over 90 % sequence homology, but each isoform has a unique NH2-terminal sequence. The isoforms are comprised of three alpha-actin, one beta-actin, two gamma-actin. Because the amino acid sequence of the C-terminal is the same for almost all actins, this antibody has been raised using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 11 residues.

Gene Full Name: actin alpha 1, skeletal muscle

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the synaptopodin family.

Gene ID: 58

UniProt: P68133

Pathways: Caspase Cascade in Apoptosis, Myometrial Relaxation and Contraction, Skeletal Muscle Fiber Development
