Purpose: α-SMA is a protein encoded by the ACTA2 gene which is approximately 42 kDa. α-SMA is localised to the cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. It is involved in the PAK pathway, VEGF pathway, fMLP pathway and Sertoli-Sertoli cell junction dynamics. This protein falls under the actin family of proteins, which are highly conserved proteins that play a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. This protein is an alpha actin that is found in skeletal muscle and is a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. α-SMA is expressed in the muscle, lung, nervous system, intestine and pancreas. Mutations in the ACTA2 gene may result in Moyamoya disease. STJ98628 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of α-SMA.
