Product Specifications

Immunogen

Recombinant full-length human Transgelin/TAGLN/SM22 alpha protein. (Uniprot: Q01995)

Localization

Cytoplasmic

Specificity

This monoclonal antibody recognizes a 22kDa protein, identified as Transgelin, also designated SM22-alpha. It may cross-react with SM22-beta. Transgelin is expressed abundantly in smooth muscle cells. The human transgelin gene encodes a 201 amino acid protein that contains nuclear factor-binding motifs known to regulate transcription in smooth muscle. During embryogenesis, transgelin is expressed in smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscle, but is restricted during late fetal development and adulthood to all vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells and low levels of expression in heart. Transgelin is down regulated in several transformed cell lines, indicating that a reduction of transgelin expression may be an early indicator of the onset of transformation. Transgelin also binds Actin, causing Actin fibers to gel within minutes of binding. Binding of transgelin to Actin occurs at a ratio of 1:6 Actin monomers.

Background: Transgelin/TAGLN

In contrast to fast and slow skeletal muscle cells that fuse and terminally differentiate, smooth muscle cells are able to simultaneously proliferate and express lineage-restricted proteins. One of these proteins, expressed exclusively in smooth muscles, has been referred to as SM22-alpha, a 22 kDa protein with structural similarity to the vertebrate thin filament myofibrillar regulatory protein calponin and the Drosophila muscle protein mp20, neither of which play a direct role in the contractile apparatus.The protein is a transformation and shape-change sensitive actin cross-linking/geling protein found in fibroblasts and smooth muscle. Its expression is down-regulated in many cell lines, and this down-regulation may be an early and sensitive marker for the onset of transformation. A functional role of this protein is unclear.
