Background
Alpha smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2, is expressed in abundance in vascular smooth muscle, comprising 50–70% of total actin, with the remainder composed of β-cytoplasmic and γ-actins. Whereas α-smooth muscle expression is normally restricted to smooth muscle cells, it can also be expressed in non-muscle cells, most notably myofibroblasts that use cell traction forces to remodel extracellular matrix.

Immunohistochemistry








Immunofluorescence

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human colon. Anti- alpha smooth muscle Actin (SMA) antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
