Smooth Muscle Actin antibody

Catalog No. ABIN959463

Product Details anti-Smooth Muscle Actin Antibody

Target: Smooth Muscle Actin (ACTA2) (Actin, alpha 2, Smooth Muscle, Aorta (ACTA2))

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Chicken, Rabbit, Pig, Goat, Sheep

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Smooth Muscle Actin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM)

Specificity: 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 is Ac-EEED, and is highly conserved. Therefore, the antibody cross-reacts with many species including protochordates, lower craniates and mammals.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: 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).

Clone: IA4

Isotype: IgG2a

Application Details

Application Notes: Approved: ELISA, EM, IHC, IHC-Fr (1:10 - 1:100), WB (1:10000 - 1:50000)
