Anti-Actin Antibody

This Mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody from Antibodies.com targets the highly conserved Actin cytoskeletal protein and is supplied as a liquid preparation in a 100 µg vial. Because actin is expressed constitutively at relatively constant levels in plant cells, this reagent is commonly deployed as a loading control in Western blot experiments to confirm equivalent protein loading across sample lanes.

The antibody has been validated for Western blot (WB) applications and exhibits reactivity across three important plant model species: Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa (cultivated rice), and Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco). This cross-species reactivity supports experiments in plant molecular biology, including studies of abiotic stress responses, developmental signaling, and transgenic characterization in these organisms.

For long-term stability, store the vial at -20 °C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles by preparing small aliquots before use; protect from light. The unconjugated IgG2b format gives researchers flexibility to conjugate the antibody themselves or to apply standard secondary detection reagents matched to mouse IgG2b.
