ALPHA-ACTININ Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Verwenden
α-Actinin from chicken gizzard has been used:
- as an antigen to coat plates for the capture of anti-actinin antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from tumor cell line clones
- in in vitro motility experiments to test its effect on actin filament movement
- to coat cantilevers for strengthening fluorescently labeled actin filaments in force measurement studies
Allgemeine Beschreibung
α-Actinin exists as a rod-shaped antiparallel dimer with two elongated subunits. The domain region contains an N-terminal actin-binding domain with tandem calponin homology domains, a central tandem 3-helix motifs, and EF-hand motifs at C-terminus. It belongs to the spectrin superfamily and is localized in actin structures.
Biochem/physiol Actions
α-Actinin binds actin and has the ability to crosslink actin cytoskeleton. It also plays a key role in the structural maintenance of the Z-disk of striated muscle.
