Material
α-actinin has been purified from rabbit skeletal muscle. The protein is supplied as a lyophilized powder and upon reconstitution, will be in the following buffer: 4 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 4 mM NaCl, 20 μM EDTA, 1% (w/v) sucrose, and 0.2% (w/v) dextran. The lyophilized product is stable at -70°C for at least 2 years. AT01 should be resuspended in nanopure water containing 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol or DTT to the desired working concentration. 

Purity
Purity is determined by scanning densitometry of the protein on an SDS-PAGE gel. α-actinin is >90% pure.
