About MTSS1
Enables actin monomer binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to fluid shear stress; negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; and urogenital system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; adherens junction maintenance; and magnesium ion homeostasis. Located in actin cytoskeleton.

About Alexa Fluor 488
Alexa Fluor™ 488 (AF488, Alexa 488) has an excitation peak at 488 nm and an emission peak at 496 nm, and is considered a high-performance alternative to FITC. Alexa 488 is one of the most popular Alexa Fluor™ dyes and is widely used in Fluorescence Microscopy, flow cytometry, and for staining low expression markers. It is bright, highly photostable, resistant to pH changes, and less susceptible to photobleaching. Alexa 488 and is similar in size, brightness and application to DyLight™ 488, iFluor® 488 and CF®488A.
