Rat ACTa2(Actin Alpha 2, Smooth Muscle) Microsample ELISA Kit is a research-use ELISA kit from ELK Biotechnology for measuring ACTa2 in Tissue homogenates, Cell lysates, Other biological fluids samples from Rat. Use the listed assay range, sample guidance and protocol documents to assess suitability for the intended study.
The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Rat ACTa2. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Rat ACTa2. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Rat ACTa2, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Rat ACTa2 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
Alternative names include α-SMA,ACT-A2; ACTSA; ACTVS; Asma; GIG46; Cell growth-inhibiting gene 46 protein; Smooth Muscle Actin.

Actin alpha 2, smooth muscle (ACTA2), commonly described as smooth muscle alpha-actin and reviewed by UniProt as actin, aortic smooth muscle, is a contractile actin isoform. This record connects NCBI Gene 59, UniProtKB P62736 and related ABMIUM catalogue products.
Biological function: Actin alpha 2, smooth muscle (ACTA2; smooth muscle alpha-actin) is a highly conserved actin isoform and a major component of the smooth-muscle contractile apparatus. It contributes to cytoskeletal structure and cell motility and has an established role in vascular contractility and blood-pressure homeostasis.
