Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human colon labelling alpha smooth muscle actin with ab7817 at a concentration of 0.01 µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with an OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was conducted for 32 mins at 100°C with ULTRA cell conditioning solution (CC1, pH 8.5). ab7817 anti-alpha smooth muscle actin antibody [1A4] was incubated at 37°C for 16 mins. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

Alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin (α-SMA) is a critical protein involved in smooth muscle contraction, encoded by the ACTA2 gene. Predominantly found in vascular smooth muscle cells, α-SMA plays a vital role in fibrogenesis and wound healing. It is often used as a marker for myofibroblast formation, which are specialized cells that contribute to tissue repair and fibrosis. The expression of α-SMA is associated with the activation of myofibroblasts, making it an important indicator in studies of fibrosis and other related conditions.

補足情報

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Alpha smooth muscle Actin also known as alpha-sma ACTA2 or anti alpha is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa. It is an important component of the cytoskeletal structure found in smooth muscle cells. This actin isoform is expressed predominantly in vascular smooth muscle uterine smooth muscle and gastrointestinal tissues. It plays an important role in the contractile function of these tissues contributing to the generation of force and maintenance of cell shape.
Biological function summary

The actin family of proteins including alpha smooth muscle Actin facilitate cellular movements and structural integrity. It is vital in cellular contraction and is a part of the actin-myosin complex which enables muscle cells to contract. Alpha smooth muscle Actin also participates in cell adhesion and morphology influencing the mechanical properties of tissues. Its expression indicates differentiation of smooth muscle tissue and can act as a marker for fibroblast to myofibroblast transformation often used in alpha sma staining.

Pathways

The regulation of alpha smooth muscle Actin expression serves a definitive role in the TGF-beta signaling pathway which influences cell migration proliferation and differentiation. This protein interacts with other actin isoforms and cytoskeletal components to modulate cellular responses to stimuli. Additionally it connects with proteins like caldesmon and tropomyosin during muscle contraction helping stabilize actin filaments within smooth muscle cells.

Abnormalities in alpha smooth muscle Actin expression are associated with conditions such as pulmonary hypertension and liver fibrosis. The protein is often upregulated in fibrotic diseases with its presence directly linked to excessive extracellular matrix deposition and tissue stiffness. In these disorders its interaction with TGF-beta and other transforming growth factor family members enhances pathological tissue remodeling and constitutes a target of interest for therapeutic intervention.
