Description | Specificity: 2A3 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody highly specific for gamma-cytoplasmic actin. Among the six actin isoforms described in mammals, two are found in virtually all cells (beta- and gamma-cytoplasmic), two are detected in smooth muscle cells (alpha- and gamma-smooth muscle) and two are present in striated muscles, one predominantly in skeletal (alpha-skeletal) and one in cardiac (alpha-cardiac) muscle cells. These actin isoforms differ slightly in their N-terminus, but the sequence of each of these actins is highly conserved in higher vertebRates. beta- and gamma-cytoplasmic actin play crucial roles during various key cellular processes. Whereas beta-actin is preferentially localized in stress fibers, circular bundles and at |
Immunogen | Source Note: 2A3 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody derived by fusion of NS0 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with a peptide comprising the N-terminal nonapeptide of gamma-cytoplasmic actin with an acetylated N-terminus (Ac-EEEIAALVI-COOH) coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin through the cysteine residue. The antibody does not cross react with other actin isoforms. |
