β actin primary antibody

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

The β-actin primary antibody is a tool used in research laboratories to detect and measure the presence of the β-actin protein. β-actin is a widely expressed cytoskeletal protein that plays a fundamental role in cellular structure and function. This antibody can be used in various analytical techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, to study the expression and localization of β-actin in biological samples.

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.
