Specifications

• Antigen: alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin
• Classification: Monoclonal
• Conjugate: Alexa Fluor 350
• Formulation: 50 mM sodium borate with 0.05% sodium azide
• Gene Symbols: ACTA2
• Immunogen: Alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Antibody (1A4/asm-1) is made to the N-Terminal decapeptide of Alpha smooth muscle isoform of actin and conjugated to KLH.
• Quantity: 0.1 mL
• Primary or Secondary: Primary
• Test Specificity: Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton and is present in most cell types. This MAb is highly specific to actin from smooth muscles. Its epitope lies in the first four N-terminal amino acids. This MAb does not stain cardiac or skeletal muscle; however, it does stain myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells. This antibody could be used together with anti-muscle specific actin and myogenin in making a diagnosis of smooth muscle and skeletal muscle tumors. In most cases of rhabdomyosarcoma, this antibody yields negative results whereas anti-muscle specific actin and myogenin are positive. Leiomyosarcomas are positive only with anti-muscle specific actin and anti-smooth muscle actin and are negative with anti-myogenin.
