NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
alpha-actinin cytoskeletal protein that anchors various actin-containing microfilaments to cellular structures; anchors V myosins to cellular structures via the RING finger-containing protein BERP [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
ACTN4: F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein. Probably involved in vesicular trafficking via its association with the CART complex. The CART complex is necessary for efficient transferrin receptor recycling but not for EGFR degradation. Defects in ACTN4 are the cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis type 1 (FSGS1). A renal pathology defined by the presence of segmental sclerosis in glomeruli and resulting in proteinuria, reduced glomerular filtration rate and edema. Renal insufficiency often progresses to end-stage renal disease, a highly morbid state requiring either dialysis therapy or kidney transplantation. Belongs to the alpha-actinin family.

Product Notes
The Rat Actn4 actn4 (Catalog #AAA289366) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA289366 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat Actn4. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Alpha-actinin-4, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
