Tubulin is the major building block of microtubules. This intracellular, cylindrical, filamentous structure is present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Microtubules function as structural and mobile elements in mitosis, intracellular transport, flagellar movement, and the cytoskeleton. Tubulin is a heterodimer that consists of -tubulin and -tubulin. Both subunits have a molecular weight of approx. 50 kDa and share considerable homology. In addition to - and -tubulin, several other tubulins have been identified, bringing the number of distinct tubulin classes to seven. Most of these tubulins have distinct subcellular localization and an emerging diverse set of functions. Out of the seven different tubulins four new members of the tubulin family were identified recently, which consist of , , and -tubulin. and -tubulins were discovered by database searches. Microtubular systems contain at least three -tubulin isoforms. Two isoforms are coded by two -tubulin genes, which are both transcribed and code for extremely similar proteins. The third isoform is generated by post-translational modification. At least three modifications of tubulin subunits have been described: the phosphorylation of -tubulin from brain, the removal of the carboxy terminal tyrosine form a-tubulin in vertebrate tissues, and the acetylation of the amino group of lysine(s) in -tubulin.
-tubulin, also called tubulin 4a (TUBA4A), is mapped to human chromosome 2q35. The gene codes for a member of the -tubulin family, and contains 448 amino acids. -subunit of tubulin has molecular weight of 50,000.
Monoclonal antibodies recognizing -tubulin, together with monoclonal antibodies to other tubulin types (, -tubulin isotype I +II, -tubulin isotype III, tyrosine tubulin, and the acetylated form of -tubulin) provide a specific and useful tool in studying the intracellular distribution of tubulin and the static and dynamic aspects of cytoskeleton.
Specificity
Anti-α-Tubulin antibody, Mouse monoclonal recognizes an epitope located at the C-terminal end of the α-tubulin isoform (amino acids 426-430) in a variety of organisms (e.g., human, bovine, mouse, and chicken).
The antibody is specific for α-tubulin in immunoblotting assays and may be used for localization of α-tubulin in cultured cells or tissue sections. The antibody reacts best with chicken fibroblasts.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Tubulin 4a (TUBA4A) mutation is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
-Tubulin or tubulin 4A (TUBA4A) plays an essential role in cell growth and division. It is also implicated in various cellular processes, such as cell motility, signaling development and cell shape maintenance. Mutation in TUBA4A is associated with the development of various types of cancers, such as oral cancer, breast cancer, rectal cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer. In addition, variation in the TUBA4A leads to sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Physical form

С 2010 года мы поставляем оборудование с заводов Европы. Берем на себя все — от подбора оборудования до внедрения на предприятии

Все сотрудники имеют высшее образование, закончили ведущие химические вузы страны, такие как РХТУ им Менделеева.

У большинства компаний срок ожидания составляет 10-12 недель.

Оборудование хранится на сухом отапливаемом складе, где поддерживается ровная температура.

Работаем с PonyExpress и Деловыми линиями. Вы также можете выбрать свою транспортную компанию или забрать товар со склада в Москве.

В случае любых неполадок за свой счет выполним ремонт в сервисном центре или на заводе-изготовителе. Или бесплатно заменим прибор на новый.

Производим пуско-наладку оборудования, валидацию, обучение сотрудников. Если нужно, привлекаем инженеров с заводов- изготовителей.
