ACTA1

actin alpha 1, skeletal muscle

Actin alpha 1, skeletal muscle (ACTA1) encodes the skeletal-muscle alpha-actin protein, also named actin, alpha skeletal muscle and alpha-actin-1. Human ACTA1 maps to NCBI Gene 58 and reviewed UniProtKB P68133; this target record links the verified target to related ABMIUM catalogue products.

About ACTA1

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

ACTA1 is an alpha-actin isoform of skeletal muscle and a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. Actins are highly conserved proteins involved in cell structure and motility; reviewed UniProt additionally associates ACTA1 with muscle contraction, skeletal-muscle fibre development and thin-filament assembly.

Experimental context

Research context

ACTA1 is studied in skeletal-muscle structure, sarcomeric thin filaments, muscle contraction, fibre development and inherited myopathy research. Full-name terminology such as actin alpha 1, skeletal muscle and actin, alpha skeletal muscle is retained alongside ACTA1.
