General description

Actin is the abundant protein found in many cells which accounts for 10% or more of total protein. Most of the eukaryotic cells shows the presence of actin protein. Outer and inner domains are the two important domains of actin.

Application

Actin from rabbit muscle has been used:
  • to study its protective role on rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase from ascorbate inhibition
  • as standard in SDS gel and immunoblotting
  • in the protein pin array assays

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin plays a key role in protein-protein interactions. It participates in cell motility, cell shape maintenance and polarity to the regulation of transcription.

A variety of clinical, epidemiological, and experimental data suggest that rheumatic heart disease and autoimmune myocarditis are not only similar in their pathogenesis, but may often be due to combined infections with coxsackie virus (CX) and streptococcus A bacteria (SA).

Actin

Although actin is one of the most conserved eukaryotic proteins, it is expressed as six isoforms characterized by electrophoresis and amino acid sequence analysis. Four of the six isoforms represent differentiation markers of muscle tissues. The other two are found in practically all cells.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
