It is part of the actin protein family and is widely expressed in eukaryotic cells. The molecular weight of beta actin is approximately 42 kDa. It contributes to the formation of the cytoskeleton and participates in various cellular processes including movement and stability. Actin is abundant in all cell types providing structural integrity and flexibility.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nBeta actin contributes to the maintenance of cell shape and is an important player in cell division and muscle contraction. It forms part of a larger actin filaments network often associating with other proteins to form the actin cytoskeleton complex. This complex supports cellular processes such as signaling intracellular trafficking and positioning of organelles. The dynamic polymerization and depolymerization of actin filaments are critical for cellular functions.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nBeta actin functions in the regulation of important biological pathways such as the Rho\/Rac\/Cdc42 signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. These pathways are essential in numerous cellular activities including cell morphology and gene transcription. Beta actin closely interacts with proteins like myosin and tropomyosin which facilitate its role in muscle contraction and cell division and proteins such as Rac and Cdc42 which help govern cytoskeletal dynamics and cellular responses to extracellular stimuli.\u003cbr\u003e\nBeta actin has links to cancers and muscular dystrophies. Aberrations in actin dynamics can result in tumor cell migration and metastasis making it a component of interest in cancer research. Additionally mutations or dysregulation in actin-associated proteins may contribute to muscular dystrophies affecting muscle function and strength. Beta actin's interactions with proteins like dystrophin involved in maintaining muscle integrity further highlight its relevance in both biological functions and disease contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855347863721,"sku":"ab264083","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab264083","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
