Description
Protein |
Rhodamine-Actin |
Origin |
Skeletal muscle alpha actin, rabbit |
Molecular mass |
42kDa |
Toolkit description |
The Actin-Toolkit Microinjection all-in-one kit contains rhodamine conjugated α-actin to be microinjected into either normal or transfected cells. For this purpose purified actin was covalently labeled at Cys 374 with tetramethylrhodamine, leaving the polymerization properties of actin essentially unimpaired. |
Purity |
>99% by scanning densitometry. |
Properties
Form |
Lyophilized, ready-to-use. |
