Product Summary for Actin Alpha 1 Cardiac Muscle Overexpression Lysate

Actin Alpha 1 Cardiac Muscle Transient Overexpression Lysate
Expression Host: HEK293T

Plasmid: RC203655

Accession#: NM_005159

Protein Tag: C-MYC/DDK

You will receive 1 vial of lysate (100ug), 1 vial of empty vector negative control (100ug), and 1 vial of 2xSDS sample buffer (250ul). Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein (at 1 mg/ml). The 2xSDS Sample Buffer consists of 4% SDS, 125mM Tris-HCl pH6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.002% Bromophenol blue, 100mM DTT.

Product Specifications

Application Notes

This product is intended for use as a positive control in Western Blot. Overexpression of the target protein was confirmed using an antibody to DDK (FLAG) epitope tag (NBP1-71705) present on the protein construct.

Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein which should be sufficient for 20-50 reactions. Depending on over-expression level, antibody affinity and detection system, some lysates can go as low as 0.1 ug per load. We recommend starting with 5ug of cell lysate. Add an equal amount of cell lysate and 2X SDS Sample buffer and boil the SDS samples for 10 minutes before loading.

TMW

41.8 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: alpha-Cardiac Actin

The Actin protein, a component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, is highly conserved between multiple species. Actin is a globular protein of approximately 42kDa. Levels of the Actin protein may vary between different cell types, but are consistent within a given cell type. For this reason, Actin protein levels are often considered a 'house-keeper', an internal control for protein loading.

The actin network represents an essential component of the cell cytoskeleton, which is made up of microfilaments composed of linear assemblies of actin molecules. Actin assembly is known to be important for the remodeling of cell shape during cell motility, cell division and morphogenesis. The biological functions of actin occur in concert with a large number of Actin binding proteins, including cofilin, actin depolymerization factor (ADF), myosins, and many more.

Actin molecules accumulate as Hirano bodies, in neurons of patients with Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Hirano bodies are intracellular aggregates of actin and actin-associated proteins.

Product Specific Notices for Actin Alpha 1 Cardiac Muscle Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Lysates are guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.
