Cofilin

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

Cofilin is a protein that plays a key role in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics. It is responsible for severing and depolymerizing actin filaments, which are essential components of the cytoskeleton. Cofilin's function is to promote the reorganization and turnover of actin structures within cells.

Osteoclast cultures were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS and incubated for 15 min at room temperature. The cells were subsequently permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 or 0.01% Tween-20 in PBS on ice for 5 min. To prevent non-specific binding, samples were preincubated in 1% BSA–PBS for 30 min. The following fluorochrome conjugates were used with 1:100 dilution in 1% BSA in PBS: ATTO 647-Phalloidin (Sigma-Aldrich, 65906), or Alexa Fluor® 488 Phalloidin (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, A12379). Nuclei were visualized with a Hoechst 33342 (Molecular Probes, H3570) with a 1:10 000 dilution. To study the potential binding partners of actin, the cells were double labeled for actin and c-Src (Cell Signaling, 2109), cortactin (Santa Cruz, 55579), anti-arp2 antibody (Abcam, ab47657), or cofilin (Santa Cruz, 53934). For secondary antibodies, Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (Molecular Probes, OR, USA) antibodies were used. After immunolabeling, the coverslips were mounted with Mowiol (Sigma-Aldrich).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
