[ACTa2]
other gene names :
[ACTA2; ACTA2; AAT6; ACTSA; MYMY5]
uniprot entry name :
D2JYH4_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of ACP5. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between ACP5 and analogues was observed.
storage stability :
The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

products description :
Intended Uses: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of ACP5 in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Principle of the Assay: The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to ACP5. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to ACP5. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain ACP5, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 10nm. The concentration of ACP5 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene 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. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
uniprot summary :
ACTA2: Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others. Up-regulated in response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection. Belongs to the actin family. Protein type: Contractile; Cytoskeletal; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q23.3. Cellular Component: extracellular space; smooth muscle contractile fiber; protein complex; cytoplasm; cytosol; actin cytoskeleton. Molecular Function: protein kinase binding; ATP binding. Biological Process: muscle contraction; regulation of blood pressure; response to virus; vascular smooth muscle contraction. Disease: Multisystemic Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome; Moyamoya Disease 5; Aortic Aneurysm, Familial Thoracic 6
