Calcium-sensitive protein which reversibly blocks the barbed ends of actin filaments but does not sever preformed actin filaments. May play an important role in macrophage function. May play a role in regulating cytoplasmic and/or nuclear structures through potential interactions with actin. May bind DNA.
Applications
Suitable for use in Peptide ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Peptide ELISA: 1:128,000 Western Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
