Cayman β-Actin (N-Term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody - Biotinylated (Clone RM112)

β-Actin is a cytoskeletal protein with roles in cell division, migration, and homeostasis that is encoded by ACTB in humans.^, It is ubiquitously expressed, localized to the cytosol, and conserved from birds to mammals. β-Actin is enriched at the leading edge of migrating cells and Actb^-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibit decreased migration velocity, increased apoptosis, and decreased proliferation. Actb knockout is early embryonic lethal in mice, indicating that β-actin is essential for embryonic development. ACTB^R183W and ACTB^E346K gain-of-function mutations have been found in patients with deafness, developmental mutations, and juvenile-onset dystonia and neutrophil dysfunction, respectively. Caymans β-Actin (N-Term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody - Biotinylated (Clone RM112) can be used for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunoprecipitation (IP), and Western blot (WB) applications.
