General description

Mouse monoclonal antibody. Recognizes α-actin in smooth muscle cells.
Recognizes α-actin in smooth muscle cells of blood vessels and parenchymal tissue of the intestine, testis, and ovary. Does not recognize actin from fibroblasts (β- and γ-cytoplasmic), striated muscle (α-sarcomeric), or myocardium (α-myocardial).

  • Entrez Gene Name: actin, alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta
  • Hu Entrez ID: 59 (Related Antibodies: 113200 )
  • Rat Entrez ID: 81633
This Anti-α-Actin Mouse mAb (1A4) is validated for use in Frozen Sections, Immunoblotting, Paraffin Sections for the detection of α-Actin.

Immunogen

Human Smooth Muscle
a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-10 of human smooth muscle α-actin.

Application

Frozen Sections (1:50-1:75)

Immunoblotting (see comments)

Paraffin Sections (1:50-1:75)

Packaging

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

In 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-borate, BHC-6 carrier polysaccharides, pH 7.5.

Analysis Note

Negative Control
Fibroblasts, striated muscle, or myocardium
Positive Control
Smooth muscle cells of blood vessels and parenchymal tissue of intestine, testis, or ovary

Other Notes

Does not recognize actin from fibroblasts (β- and γ-cytoplasmic), striated muscle (α-sarcomeric), or myocardium (α-myocardial).Prolonged fixation in buffered formalin destroys the epitope. The antibody is specific for the α-smooth muscle isoform of actin. This antibody is also reported to work for immunoblotting. Variables associated with assay conditions will dictate the proper working dilution.

Questions

  1. Could you provide information on the reactivity of antibody 113200-500UL with bovine cells? The website does not mention reactivity for bovine species, and I would like to use it with bovine cells.

    1 answer
    1. The Sigma-Aldrich Anti-α-Actin Mouse mAb (1A4) with the product number 113200 is the same "clone" as the Sigma-Aldrich Anti-Actin, smooth muscle Antibody, clone ASM-1/1A4 with the product number CBL171-I. Clone ASM-1, also known as anti-αsm-1 and clone 1A4. The Anti-Actin smooth muscle Antibody, clone ASM-1/1A4 (product number CBL171-I) shows reactivity in human, mouse, rat, chicken, and bovine species. Accordingly, the Anti-α-Actin Mouse mAb (1A4) with the product number 113200 should cross-react with bovine smooth muscle actin since it is the same clone as in CBL171-I.
