Mouse monoclonal [0.T.02] to alpha ActininAlpha Actinin is an actin binding protein present in both muscle and non-muscle cells. It has a molecular weight of 100,000 daltons and forms dimers in solution. In normal skeletal muscle alpha actinin is associated with the z-discs that define muscle sarcomeres. In smooth muscle alpha actinin has been detected in dense bodies and plaques characteristic of the tissue. Immunofluorescent labeling of a large variety of cells using antibody to alpha actinin reveals extensive association of the proteins with actin containing stress fibers and in particular with their membrane bound termini.

Tested Applications
ICC/IFIHCWB
ICC: Use at a concentration of 15 μg/ml. IHC: Use at a concentration of 15 μg/ml. This concentration gives positive immunostaining for alpha Actinin in MRC5 cells fixed with methanol. A previous lot of antibody detected alpha Actinin in frozen sections. WB: Use at a concentration of 0.5 - 2 μg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 103 kDa. Detects alpha Actinin in RIPA lysates from human A431 cells. Non-stimulated A431 cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-alpha Actinin (1mg/ml). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. Is unsuitable for IP. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.:
