-
Application
- Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM)
- Specificity
- Reacts exclusively with alpha-smooth muscle actin, which is typical for vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells, but which is also present in myofibroblasts. The epitope is Ac-EEED, and is highly conserved. Therefore, the antibody cross-reacts with many species including protochordates, lower craniates and mammals.
- Purification
- Purified
- Immunogen
- Peptide comprising the first 10 amino acids of alpha-smooth muscle actin with an acetylated N-terminus coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin via the C-terminal cysteine (Ac-EEEDSTALVC).
