Smooth Muscle Actin
This antibody recognizes the alpha-smooth muscle isoform of actin. It shows no crossreaction with actin from fibroblasts (beta- and gamma-cytoplasmic), striated muscle (alpha-sarcomeric), and myocardium (alpha-myocardial). A synthetic peptide corresponding to N-terminus of human Alpha-actin was used as immunogen. Smooth Muscle Actin stains smooth muscle cells in vessel walls, gut wall, and myometrium. Myoepithelial cells in breast and salivary glands are also stained as they also contain actin. This MAb is reportedly useful for identifying tumors arising from smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells.
