Actin Antibody (NH3) is a mouse monoclonal IgM kappa light chain antibody designed for species reactivity in mouse, rat, human, and rabbit, with its epitope raised against monocytes and U-937 histiocytic lymphoma of human origin. Actin, one of the most abundant and essential proteins in eukaryotic cells, plays a pivotal role in maintaining cell structure and function. Actin forms dynamic filamentous structures (F-actin) involved in various critical cellular processes such as intracellular transport, adhesion, migration, cytokinesis, and cell shape regulation. In higher eukaryotes, multiple isoforms of actin are expressed, each tailored to specific functions: α-actin is predominantly found in muscle tissues, whereas β- and γ-actin are more commonly associated with non-muscle cells. This diversity in isoforms enables actin to fulfill roles ranging from providing structural support to regulating gene expression and controlling cell signaling pathways. In immune cells like monocytes, actin plays a vital role in processes like phagocytosis and immune response. U-937 cells, derived from human histiocytic lymphoma, are often used in research to study immune-related functions, particularly phagocyte differentiation. Understanding actin′s role in these cells can offer insights into diseases like cancer and immune disorders, making anti-actin antibody (NH3) a critical tool in research. Additionally, actin dynamics are regulated by various actin-binding proteins (ABPs), which influence processes like cell motility and contraction, further emphasizing actin′s significance in cellular functions. By using techniques like western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and flow cytometry (FCM), researchers can study cell structure, motility, and various cellular processes that rely on actin dynamics.
