Cortactin Antibody (A-4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody specifically engineered to recognize Cortactin, also known as Ems-1, a vital filamentous actin (F-actin) binding protein that plays a key role in the regulation of the cytoskeleton, influencing essential cellular processes such as motility and shape maintenance. Anti-Cortactin antibody (A-4) is raised against amino acids 309-499 of human Cortactin and demonstrates robust species reactivity, effectively detecting Cortactin from mouse, rat, and human origins across a variety of applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cortactin functions as a substrate for Src p60 kinase, where its tyrosine phosphorylation by Src p60 modulates its binding affinity to F-actin and its ability to cross-link actin filaments, thereby impacting cellular structural integrity and dynamics. Structurally, Cortactin features tandem 37 amino acid repeats at the N-terminus and an SH3 domain at the C-terminus, which are crucial for its interaction with actin filaments and various signaling molecules. Additionally, Cortactin is phosphorylated in response to growth factors such as FGF-1, highlighting its involvement in signal transduction pathways. Cortactin is abundantly expressed in megakaryocytes and platelets, suggesting a significant role in the maturation and function of these cells. Cortactin (A-4) antibody is available in multiple conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and various Alexa Fluor® conjugates, providing researchers with versatile options to suit diverse experimental needs. Anti-Cortactin antibody (A-4) is an indispensable tool for scientists investigating cytoskeletal dynamics, cell signaling mechanisms, and hematopoietic processes, ensuring accurate and reliable detection of Cortactin in their studies.
