The alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin (ACTA2) Antibody (CAB1011) is a high-quality antibody developed for reliable detection and analysis of target proteins. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity towards human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications.ACTA2 is an essential component of smooth muscle cells, playing a crucial role in various physiological processes such as vascular contraction, organ development, and wound healing. Dysregulation of ACTA2 expression has been linked to diseases like thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections, as well as smooth muscle cell tumors.
This antibody is validated for use in WB, IHC-P, ELISA, IF-P applications and has demonstrated reactivity against Human, Mouse, Rat samples.

This gene encodes one of six different actin proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, integrity, and intercellular signaling. The encoded protein is a smooth muscle actin that is involved in vascular contractility and blood pressure homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause a variety of vascular diseases, such as thoracic aortic disease, coronary artery disease, stroke, and Moyamoya disease, as well as multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome.
