Related Product Information for anti-ACTA2 antibody
Description: Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 6 (AAT6) [MIM:611788]. AATs are characterized by permanent dilation of the thoracic aorta usually due to degenerative changes in the aortic wall. They are primarily associated with a characteristic histologic appearance known as 'medial necrosis' or 'Erdheim cystic medial necrosis' in which there is degeneration and fragmentation of elastic fibers, loss of smooth muscle cells, and an accumulation of basophilic ground substance.

Product Notes

The ACTA2 acta2 (Catalog #AAA30933) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The alpha-SMA Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's alpha-SMA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemisty (IHC), Immunoflurescene (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:500-1:1000 IHC: 1:50-1:500 IF: 1:200 IP: 1:100 ICC 1:200
EIA: 1:20000-1:40000

The optimal dilutions should be determined by the end user. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ACTA2 acta2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "alpha-SMA, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
