This antibody recognises the product of the ACTB gene, cytoplasmic actin beta, also known as actin cytoplasmic and beta actin1. Actin beta is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells, playing a critical role in cell survival, motility and re-modeling.Actin beta is highly conserved throughout evolution, with all vertebrate and invertebrate species reviewed to date bearing a 98% or greater amino acid primary sequence identity to human actin beta. Plant species also exhibit a high degree of primary sequence conservation displaying considerable similarity to animal actin beta. For example, nearly 90% sequence identity is observed between human ACTB and the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana (mouse eared cress) ACT1 (Arabidopsis) gene products. Actin beta is a commonly used western blotting loading control.
