General description

Tubulin is one of the main components of the cytoskeleton. It is a heterodimeric structure consisting of interlocking alpha and beta chains. Like other cytoskeleton proteins, tubulin undergoes dynamic changes depending on the cellular context, which are mediated by binding and release of GDP/GTP. Tubulin proteins may also undergo post-translational modifications, and are essential to cellular transport and mitotic processes.

Immunogen

Native chicken brain microtubules.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected α-tubulin in NIH/3T3, A431, and HeLa cells.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution from a representative lot detected α-tubulin in normal human brain tissue, human brain cancer tissue, normal rat hippocampus tissue and normal rat cerebellum tissue.

This Anti-α-Tubulin Antibody, clone DM1A is validated for use in Western Blotting, ICC, IHC for the detection of α-Tubulin.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in HeLa cell lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 0.01 µg/mL of this antibody detected α-tubulin in 10 µg of HeLa cell lysate.

Target description

~60 kDa observed. Uniprot describes a molecular weight at ~46 kDA, but can be higher due to post-translational modification. This protein has been observed at ~55 kDa in some cell lysates (Saugstad, J. A., et al. (2002). J Neurochem. 80(6):980-988.).

Focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII) is a cerebral cortex malformation characterized by local cortical structure disorganization, neuronal dysmorphology, and refractory epilepsy. Brain somatic mutations in several genes involved in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway are associated with FCDII, but they are
