Actin, Smooth Muscle (SMA)

1A4/Mouse/Monoclonal

Gene Bio Solution Actin (SMA) Antibody. Gene bio solution’s mouse monoclonal antibody (1A4) stains Actin (SMA) in smooth muscle cells found in vessel walls, gut wall, and myometrium. The Actin (SMA) antibody also stains myoepithelial cells in breast and salivary glands. Additionally, Gene bio’s Actin (SMA) antibody recognizes tumors arising from smooth muscles and myoepithelial cells. Finally, the Actin antibody can also be used for monitoring total protein load on Western blots.
