Product Name
Tubulin alpha chain, FITC conjugated (clone TU-01)
Immunogen
Fraction of tubulin purified from porcine brain by two cycles of polymerization - depolymerization,
Background
Tubulin alpha (TUA) together with beta tubulin is making up microtubules. The microtubules are intracellular dynamic polymers made up of evolutionarily conserved polymorphic alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimers and a large number of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). The microtubules consist of 13 protofilaments and have an outer diameter 25 nm. Microtubules have their intrinsic polarity; highly dynamic plus ends and less dynamic minus ends. Microtubules are required for vital processes in eukaryotic cells including mitosis, meiosis, maintenance of cell shape and intracellular transport.
