Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

C4/actin

Changes in cellular morphology, adhesion, and motility occur through the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.  This reorganization of actin filaments results from interactions between actin and actin-binding proteins.  Actin is a 42-kDa protein that is known as G-actin in its monomeric form.  Polymerization of G-actin monomers leads to the generation of flexible filaments, 5-9 nm in diameter, called F-actin.  F-actin may be organized in linear bundles called stress fibers or in two-dimensional networks.  The latter are highly concentrated beneath the plasma membrane and form the actin cortex.  Regulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics occurs through actin-binding proteins.  These proteins bind to G- and/or F-actin and regulate various aspects of actin cytoskeletal dynamics, such as polymerization and depolymerization of actin, cross-linking of actin filaments into bundles, interaction of actin-based structures with membranes and other cytoskeletal elements, and locomotion of actin-based structures.  Thus, the actin cytoskeleton is a complex matrix consisting of G- and F-actin along with the multitude of interactions between these actin forms and a variety of different types of actin-binding proteins.

The C4 monoclonal antibody reacts with all known isoforms of actin in vertebrate muscle and non-muscle cells.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
