Actin from Rabbit Muscle

The Uses of Actin from Rabbit Muscle

Actin from rabbit muscle has been used:

• to study its protective role on rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase from ascorbate inhibition
• as standard in SDS gel?and immunoblotting
• in the protein pin array assays

The Uses of Actin from Rabbit Muscle

Used in cell transport studies, and inhibits deoxyribonuclease I

The Uses of Actin from Rabbit Muscle

Actin from bovine muscle has been used as an internal standard and positive control during western blotting.

General Description

Actin is the abundant protein found in many cells which accounts for 10% or more of total protein. Most of the eukaryotic cells shows the presence of actin protein. Outer and inner domains are the two important domains of actin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actin is involved in a wide variety of cellular processes like cell migration, phagocytosis, cell polarity and shape. It associates with myosin and aids in muscle contraction. The protein acts as a building block of microfilaments.
