Actin from non-muscle sources is a mixture of β/γ non-muscle actin isoforms. Both are single chain polypeptides with a molecular weight of 42kD consisting of 374 amino acids. ATTO647-Actin is chemically modified G-actin with an ATTO647 fluorescent group covalently bound to lysine residues. ATTO647-Actin (λex 647nm, λem669nm) possesses the polymerization properties of native G-actin.
