This gene encodes a 42.6 kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10-11 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD.
Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein.
It is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis.
This subunit is present in 8-13 copies per dynactin molecule, and is the most abundant molecule in the dynactin complex.
It is an actin-related protein, and is approximately 60% identical at the amino acid level to conventional actin.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
