It was first recognized as an actin cross-linking protein, forming an antiparallel homodimer with an actin binding head at the amino terminus of each monomer. The α-actinin protein interacts with a large number of proteins involved in signaling to the cytoskeleton, including those involved in cellular adhesion, migration, and immune cell targeting (1). The interaction of α-actinin with intercellular adhesion molecule-5 (ICAM-5) helps to promote neurite outgrowth (2). In osteoblasts, interaction of α-actinin with integrins stabilizes focal adhesions and may protect cells from apoptosis (3). The cytoskeletal α-actinin isoforms 1 and 4 (ACTN1, ACTN4) are non-muscle proteins that are present in stress fibers, sites of adhesion and intercellular contacts, filopodia, and lamellipodia. The muscle isoforms 2 and 3 (ACTN2, ACTN3) localize to the Z-discs of striated muscle and to dense bodies and plaques in smooth muscle (1).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nactinin 1 smooth muscle; actinin alpha 1; actinin, alpha 1; ACTN1; alpha-actinin; alpha-actinin 1; Alpha-actinin cytoskeletal isoform; Alpha-actinin-1; BDPLT15; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; F-actin cross-linking protein; FLJ40884; FLJ54432; Non-muscle alpha-actinin-1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Hm Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 100\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798072938665,"sku":"3134S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/cst-3134s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
