Actin, alpha skeletal muscle is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTA1 gene.[5][6]

Actin alpha 1 which is expressed in skeletal muscle is one of six different actin isoforms which have been identified. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha actins are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus.[7]
