FAQs for alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Antibody (IC1420U). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I do not see horse listed as a predicted or confirmed species. Would you be able to confirm if any of your alpha-SMA antibodies will react with equine samples?
   • We have not directly tested equine samples nor do we have cited publications that have tested equine samples. Since alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin is a highly conserved sequence, these antibodies should react with most mammal species.
