What Are Actin Antibodies?
Actin antibodies are used to detect the presence of the protein actin. It is used solely for the purposes of biological or medical research, or in diagnostic pathology laboratories. Actin is studied mostly by scientists who investigate muscle or other associated systems, such as cytokinesis or binding proteins. However, because it is the most abundant protein in eukaryotic cells—more complex cell types containing internal structures known as organelles—it is often used as a positive control for experiments focused on other types of proteins.
