Actins are highly conserved proteins ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. Three main groups of actin isoforms have been identified in vertebrates; alpha, beta and gamma. Beta actins coexist with gamma actins in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility.
