alpha-Cardiac Actin: Proteins and Enzymes

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 ...
