Caldesmon Antibody (8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Caldesmon in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). Caldesmon is a crucial actin-binding protein that plays a significant role in muscle contraction and cellular motility, making Caldesmon essential for various physiological processes. Caldesmon exists in two main forms: muscular Caldesmon, predominantly found in smooth muscle, and non-muscular Caldesmon, which is expressed in a variety of non-muscle tissues. Muscular Caldesmon, also known as high molecular weight Caldesmon or H-Caldesmon, interacts with actin filaments and is involved in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction, while non-muscular Caldesmon, referred to as low molecular weight Caldesmon or L-Caldesmon, is implicated in cellular signaling and structural integrity in non-muscle cells. Multiple isoforms, resulting from alternative splicing of the Caldesmon gene, allow for diverse functional roles in different tissue types. Anti-Caldesmon antibody (8) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying the dynamics of actin filament interactions and the regulatory mechanisms underlying muscle and non-muscle cell functions.
