Target/Specificity | Does not cross react with other actin isoforms. Reacts with human, pig, rabbit, rat, mouse and chicken. The epitope recognized is highly conserved and the antibody is therefore expected to react with many other species. |
Reconstitution & Storage | Long term: -20°C; Short term: +4°C. Avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | ACTG1 / Gamma Actin Antibody (clone 2A3) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ACTG1 |

Synonyms | ACTG |
Function | Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. May play a role in the repair of noise-induced stereocilia gaps thereby maintains hearing sensitivity following loud noise damage (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton |
