ACTG1 Recombinant Protein

Store in working aliquots at -70°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility, and maintenance of the cytoskeleton. In vertebrates, three main groups of actin isoforms, α , β and γ have been identified. The α actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The β and γ actins co-exist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton, and as mediators of internal cell motility. Actin, γ 1, encoded by this gene, is a cytoplasmic actin found in nonmuscle cells.

FUNCTION: Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.

SUBUNIT: Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others.
