Description

General description

Actin is the abundant protein found in many cells which accounts for 10% or more of total protein.[1] Most of the eukaryotic cells shows the presence of actin protein. Outer and inner domains are the two important domains of actin.[2]

Application

Actin from rabbit muscle has been used:

• to study its protective role on rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase from ascorbate inhibition[3]
• as standard in SDS gel and immunoblotting[4]
• in the protein pin array assays[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin plays a key role in protein-protein interactions.[2] It participates in cell motility, cell shape maintenance and polarity to the regulation of transcription.[2]

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing Tris, ATP and CaCl₂
