Background of ACTA1
Actin, a highly conserved protein, is a major component of both the cytoskeletal and contractile structures in the cell types. It varies in amount, being related to the type of differentiation and to the functional state of cells and tissues. The actins exhibit over 90% sequence homology, but each isoform has a unique NH2-terminal sequence. The isoforms are comprised of three alpha-actin, one beta-actin, two gamma-actin. Because the amino acid sequence of the C-terminal is the same for almost all actins, this antibody has been raised using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 11 residues.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Western blot analysis of Actin using anti-Actin antibody (PB9751).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: rat heart tissue lysates,
Lane 2: rat brain tissue lysates,
Lane 3: rat kidney tissue lysates,
Lane 4: mouse heart tissue lysates,
Lane 5: mouse brain tissue lysates,
Lane 6: mouse spleen tissue lysates,
Lane 7: mouse kidney tissue lysates,
Lane 8: human Hela whole cell lysates,
Lane 9: human HepG2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 10: human 293T whole cell lysates,
Lane 11: human A431 whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Actin antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9751) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Actin at approximately 42 kDa. The expected band size for Actin is at 42 kDa.

IHC analysis of Actin using anti-Actin antibody (PB9751).
Actin was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human liver cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 μg/ml rabbit anti-Actin Antibody (PB9751) overnight at 4°C. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using HRP Conjugated Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (Catalog # SV0002) with DAB as the chromogen.

Asked: 2019-12-18
Answer
According to literature biceps brachii does express ACTA1. According to Uniprot.org, ACTA1 is expressed in biceps brachii, skeletal muscle, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have ACTA1 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Skeletal muscle, Pubmed ID: 6190133, 15489334

Question
We are currently using anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody PB9751 for human tissue, and we are happy with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on canine tissues as well?
A. Li
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-01-06
Answer
The anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody (PB9751) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with canine tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in canine you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We ordered your anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody for WB on skeletal muscle in a previous experiment. I am using human, and We want to use the antibody for IHC next. I am looking for examining skeletal muscle as well as biceps brachii in our next experiment. Could give a recommendation on which antibody would work the best for IHC?
