General description

Monoclonal Anti-ε-Tubulin (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the TUB-11 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice immunized with a synthetic peptide.
Tubulin epsilon 1 (ε-tubulin) is a member of tubulin superfamily. ε-tubulin is localized to the centrosome in cell-cycle-dependent manner. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 6q21.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-ε-Tubulin recognizes human, mouse, frog, and chicken ε-tubulin (55 kDa).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 352-366 of human ε-tubulin, conjugated to KLH.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-ε-Tubulin antibody produced in mouse may be used in:
  • immunoblotting
  • enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tubulin ε 1 (ε-Tubulin) plays a vital role in microtubule anchoring and centriole maturation.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month.For prolonged storage, freeze in working aliquots at−20 °C. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recom-mended. Storage in frost-free freezers is also notrecommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolongedstorage, clarify the solution by centrifugation beforeuse. Working dilutions should be discarded if not usedwithin 12 hours.

Centrosomes nucleate microtubules and serve as poles of the mitotic spindle. Centrioles are a core component of centrosomes and duplicate once per cell cycle. We previously identified epsilon-tubulin as a new member of the tubulin superfamily that localizes asymmetrically to

Although most eukaryotic cells can express multiple isotypes of alphabeta-tubulin, the significance of this diversity has not always been apparent. Recent data indicate that particular alphabeta-tubulin isotypes, both genome encoded and those derived by post-translational modification, can directly influence microtubule

Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton are composed of a heterodimer of α- and β-tubulin. In addition to α-and β-tubulin, several other tubulins have been identified, bringing the number of distinct tubulin classes to seven.
