Beta actin is a protein encoded by the ACTB gene which is approximately 41,7 kDa. Beta actin is localised to the cytoplasm. It is involved in pathways such as blood-brain barrier and immune cell transmigration, regulation of actin cytoskeleton by Rho GTPases and development Slit-Robo signalling. This protein falls under the actin family. There are 3 main groups of actin isoforms in vertebrates namely, alpha, beta and gamma actins. Beta actin is a highly conserved proteins that is involved in various types of internal cell motility and are the major constituent of microfilaments. Beta actin is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. Mutations in the ACTB gene result in a form of juvenile-onset dystonia, which is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1 is another disease that can occur due to mutations. This is rare developmental disorder that causes postnatal short stature and microcephaly, intellectual disability, seizures, and hearing loss. STJ96941 was developed from clone 5B7. The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen. This primary antibody binds endogenous beta actin.
