ACTR1B Antibody

ACTR1B is a 42.3 kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein and is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. ACTR1B, like ACTR1A, is an actin-related protein. These two proteins, which are of equal length and share 90% amino acid identity, are present in a constant ratio of approximately 1:15 in the dynactin complex.This gene encodes a 42.3 kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store ACTR1B antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

ACTR1B antibody can be used for detection of ACTR1B by ELISA at 1:62500. ACTR1B antibody can be used for detection of ACTR1B by western blot at 0.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
