Designing a Western blot for Fascin? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the FSCN1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Fascin.
Plays a role in the organization of actin filament bundles and the formation of microspikes, membrane ruffles, and stress fibers. Important for the creation of a diverse set of cell protrusions, such as filopodia, and for cell motility and migration.
