      Background InformationMicrotubules are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities ranging from mitosis and transport events to cell movement and the maintenance of cell shape. Tubulin itself is a globular protein which consists of two polypeptides (alpha and beta tubulin). Alpha and beta tubulin dimers are assembled to 13 protofilaments that form a microtubule of 22 nm diameter. Tyrosine ligase adds a C-terminal tyrosine to monomeric alpha tubulin. Assembled microtubules can be detyrosinated by a cytoskeleton associated carboxypeptidase. Detyrosinated alpha tubulin is referred to as Glu-tubulin. Another post-translational modification of detyrosinated alpha tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation which is characteristic for microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle.

      Product Usage Statements
      Quality AssuranceEvaluated by Western Blotting in NIH/3T3 cell lysate, which were untreated or treated with Pancreatic Carboxypeptidase (PCA).

      Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody detected alpha Tubulin, tyrosinated in 10 µg of untreated NIH/3T3 cell lysate and demonstrated a loss of signal in PCA treated NIH/3T3 cell lysate.
