Designing an IHC experiment for Alpha-parvin? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the PARVA IHC GuideFacts about Alpha-parvin.
Plays a role in sprouting angiogenesis and is needed for normal adhesion of vascular smooth muscle cells into endothelial cells during blood vessel growth (By similarity). Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, formation of lamellipodia and ciliogenesis.
