?-Smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) is a cytoskeletal protein encoded by ACTA2 in humans and a component of the smooth muscle cell (SMC) contractile unit.{58079} It is expressed in the cytosol of SMCs throughout the vascular system where it polymerizes to form the thin filaments of the SMC contractile unit. ?-SMA is also expressed in pericytes and myofibroblasts.{58082} Acta2 expression is upregulated in, and positively correlates with enhanced migration and contraction of, hepatic stellate cells, which are precursors to myofibroblasts, in a rat model of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury. Missense mutations in ACTA2 cause approximately 14% of inherited ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) via induction of defective SMC contraction, aortic medial degeneration, and SMC hyperplasia or disarray.{58080} Mutations in ACTA2 are also positively correlated with a predisposition for various additional vascular diseases including premature coronary artery disease, stroke, and Moyamoya disease.{58081} Cayman’s ?-SMA (N-term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications.

Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
