Target Information
Mouse Actin, Aortic Smooth Muscle (ACTA2) is a protein belonging to the actin family. It is primarily expressed in smooth muscle cells and plays a crucial role in the contraction of smooth muscles. ACTA2 forms the thin filaments of the smooth muscle cell contractile unit, enabling the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels and other smooth muscle-containing structures. It is also involved in cell motility, structure, and integrity. In research, ACTA2 is often used as a marker for myofibroblast formation and is widely studied in the context of vascular contractility, blood pressure regulation, and various diseases such as aortic aneurysms and dissections.
