Mouse Anti-Human Tubulin Monoclonal Antibody (CBP2396)

Product Overview

Description

Tubulin, one of the major constituents of microtubules, is a dimeric protein consisting of an alpha and beta tubulin. Tubulin is a highly conserved protein that is ubiquitously expressed. Tubulin is a GTP-binding protein that can be modified by phosphorylation and acetylation. Tubulin interacts with a variety of proteins including RAC GTPase activating protein 1, ZAP70, Polo-like kinase, c-Myc, Fyn, and microtubule associated protein 1A. Tubulin α 8 belongs to the Tubulin α family which contains 8 other members such as tubulin α 1A, tubulin α 4A, tubulin α 3E. It has been shown that mutations in the tubulin α 8 gene is associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia.
