MONOCLONAL ANTI-TROPOMYOSIN, MOUSE &

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Tropomyosin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Tropomyosin is a rigid rod-shaped protein closely associated with actin filaments. Non-muscle forms of tropomyosin have been identified in a wide range of cell types. Tropomyosin is made of two α helical polypeptide chains._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ chicken gizzard tropomyosin._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Tropomyosin has been used:_x000D_ • in immunofluorescent labelling_x000D_ • in immunohistochemistry_x000D_ • in western blotting_x000D_ • in immunoblotting_x000D_ Mouse monoclonal clone TM311 anti-Tropomyosin antibody is used to tag tropomyosin for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques such as immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of tropomyosin in cytoskeletal structures._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Tropomyosin together with troponin, regulate the binding of myosin to actin. Tropomyosin is a dimeric coiled-coil protein forming continuous polymers along the myosin-binding groove of actin. Various tropomyosin isoforms help to confer structure and function to actins in the cytoskeleton and in striated muscle function.
