Actin alpha cardiac muscle 1, Alpha-cardiac actin, ACTC1, ACTC.
Introduction
Alpha-cardiac actin belongs to the actin family which is comprised of three main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta, and gamma. The alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. Defects in the cardiac actin have been associated with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC).
Description
Ultra pure Cardiac Actin having a Molecular mass of 43,000 dalton.
Source
Bovine Heart.
Applications
Protein standard in 1D and 2D SDS gelelectrophoresis
Immunoassays
Immunization.
Immunoassays
Immunization.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized from a 1mg/ml solution containing 10mM Tris-acetate buffer pH 8.0, 0.2mM CaCl2, 0.2mM ATP, 1mM DTT and 0.5% SDS.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Cardiac Actin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Cardiac-Actin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Cardiac Actin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
