Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA) is the definitive intermediate filament protein found in smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts. Its role in regulating cellular contractility makes it a cornerstone marker for any lesion involving smooth muscle differentiation. Aberrant expression or modification of Actin Smooth Muscle Sma is… Read More »Actin Smooth Muscle Sma
When it comes to cellular function and structure, the dynamic duo of alpha and beta actin proteins take center stage. These closely related proteins, part of the actin family, play pivotal roles in ensuring that cells maintain their integrity and functionality. In this blog post,… Read More »Exploring the Dynamic Duo: Alpha and Beta Actin
Introduction Within the microscopic world of cells lies a complex framework known as the cytoskeleton, like the human skeleton it provides structural support but also orchestrates various cellular activities. At the heart of this cytoskeletal network are actin filaments, slender threads of protein that play… Read More »The Intricate Dance of Actin Filaments: Building Blocks of Cell Structure and Function
