Recombinant Human Actin, Alpha 2, Smooth Muscle, Aorta, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: ACTA2-7151H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human ACTA2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. MW: 44.4 kDa.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 3-377aa
• Description: ACTA2 belongs to the actin family of proteins, which are highly conserved proteins that play a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha, beta and gamma actin isoforms have been identified, with alpha actins being a major constituent of the contractile apparatus, while beta and gamma actins are involved in the regulation of cell motility. This actin is an alpha actin that is found in skeletal muscle. Defects in this gene cause aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 6. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
• Form: Liquid. In 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 0.15M NaCl, 10% glycerol
• Molecular Mass: 44.4 kDa (400aa), confirmed by MALDI-TOF
