Actin-α/γ (phospho Tyr55/53) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-Actin-α/γ (phospho Tyr55/53) Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility. Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to four others. The protein encoded by ACTC1 (actin, alpha, cardiac muscle 1) belongs to the actin family which is comprised of three main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta, and gamma. The alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. Defects in ACTC1 have been associated with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) .
