Specificity
This antibody does not cross react with other actin isoforms. The epitope recognized by ab123034 is highly conserved and the antibody is therefore expected to react with many other species.
This antibody is highly specific for gamma-cytoplasmic actin (γ-actin 1; encoded by ACTG1). It does not cross-react with the gamma-actin isoform expressed in the enteric smooth muscle tissues (γ-actin 2; encoded by ACTG2).

General notes
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.
