Alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin (α-SMA) is a critical protein involved in smooth muscle contraction, encoded by the ACTA2 gene. Predominantly found in vascular smooth muscle cells, α-SMA plays a vital role in fibrogenesis and wound healing. It is often used as a marker for myofibroblast formation, which are specialized cells that contribute to tissue repair and fibrosis. The expression of α-SMA is associated with the activation of myofibroblasts, making it an important indicator in studies of fibrosis and other related conditions.
