Protein

ATTO490LS-Actin

Origin

Skeletal muscle alpha actin, rabbit

Molecular mass

42kDa

Protein description

Actin from rabbit skeletal muscle is a single chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of 42kD consisting of 375 amino acids. ATTO490LS-Actin is chemically modified G-actin with an ATTO490 fluorescent group covalently bound to lysine residues. The dye is characterized by an enormous stokes shift of 165nm, which entirely separates the absorption from the emission spectrum. This allows multicolor experiments with e.g. ATTO488 and ATTO514.

ATTO490LS-Actin (λex 496nm, λem 661nm) possesses the polymerization properties of native G-actin.
