Application
The ProteoExtract® Native Cytoskeleton Enrichment and Staining Kit provides cytoskeleton purification detergent buffers that retain focal adhesion and actin-associated proteins while removing soluble cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins from the cell. Anti-Vinculin and anti-GAPDH antibodies are provided as markers for focal adhesions and cytosol, respectively, in immunofluorescence analysis. This kit will greatly increase the ability to detect and study the low abundance actin-associated proteins which are typically masked in conventional methods of staining whole cells.

The functions of the actin cytoskeleton is to mediate a variety of essential biological functions in all eukaryotic cells, including intra- and extra-cellular movement and structuralSupport (Chen, C.S., et al., 2003; Frixione E., 2000). To perform these functions, the organization of the actin cytoskeleton must be tightly regulated both temporally and spatially. Many proteins associated with the actin cytoskeleton are thus likely targets of signaling pathways controlling actin assembly. Actin cytoskeleton assembly is regulated at multiple levels, including the organization of actin monomers (G-actin) into actin polymers and the superorganization of actin polymers into a filamentous network (F-actin – the major constituent of microfilaments) (Bretscher, A., et al., 1994)
