Rat ACT alpha1 (Actin Alpha 1,Skeletal Muscle) ELISA Kit (RTES01193)

A quantitative immunoassay measuring skeletal muscle alpha-actin (ACTA1) in rat-derived specimens, this Assay Genie kit supports research into muscle contractile protein biology. Actin alpha 1 is a key sarcomeric component expressed predominantly in type II skeletal muscle fibers and serves as a biomarker in studies of muscle development, exercise physiology, neuromuscular disorders, and muscle injury models.

The assay uses a matched-antibody-pair format with an absorbance-based readout, enabling quantification on a standard microplate reader. Each kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 determinations, supporting medium-throughput experimental workflows in academic and pharmaceutical research laboratories.

Typical applications include evaluation of ACTA1 expression in rodent models of muscular dystrophy, sarcopenia, disuse atrophy, and exercise-induced muscle adaptation. The rat-reactive assay accommodates liquid specimen matrices obtained through standard collection protocols, with handling recommendations emphasizing rapid processing and low-temperature preservation to maintain target protein integrity before analysis.
