Actinin, alpha (CMD1AA, Alpha-actinin skeletal muscle isoform 2, F-actin cross-linking protein)

Alpha-actinin was initially isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle as a factor that induces the gelation of F-actin and promotes the superprecipitation of actomyosin. Alpha actinins are actin-binding proteins that carry out different purposes in different different cell types. In myofibrillar cells, alpha-actinin constitutes a major component of Z-discs in striated muscle and of the functionally analogous dense bodies and dense plaques in smooth muscle. alpha-actinin (alpha A) shares structural homology with spectrin and dystrophin.\n\nUniProt Number:\nHuman(P35609), Mouse(Q9JI91), Rat(D3ZCV0)\n\nGene ID:\nACTN2 \n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin and Frozen).\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
