- Extra Details:
- a-actinin belongs to the spectrin family of cytoskeletal proteins. It was first recognized as an actin cross-linking protein, forming an antiparallel homodimer with an actin binding head at the amino terminus of each monomer. More recently, a-actinin has been shown to interact with a large number of proteins involved in signaling to the cytoskeleton including those involved in cellular adhesion, migration and immune cell targeting. (1). The interaction of a-actinin with ICAM5 (intercellular adhesion molecule-5) helps to promote neurite outgrowth (2). In osteoblasts, interaction of a-actinin with integrins stabilizes focal adhesions and may protect cells from apoptosis (3). Isoforms 1 and 4 of a-actinin, which are non-muscle isoforms, are present in stress fibers, sites of adhesion and intercellular contacts, filopodia and lamellipodia. The muscle isoforms 2 and 3 localize to the Z-discs of striated muscle and to dense bodies and plaques in smooth muscle (1). Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunofluorescence (IC): 1:25 Western Blot: 1:1000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
