General description
Microtubules 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 tyrosin 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.
Specificity
This antibody detects the nontyrosinated form of alpha Tubulin.
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human nontyrosinated alpha Tubulin.
Application
Detect Tubulin using this rabbit polyclonal antibody, Anti-alpha Tubulin Antibody, nontyrosinated validated for use in western blotting, ELISA & ICC.

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory specifically detected nontyrosinated alpha Tubulin and not tyrosinated alpha Tubulin from purified porcine alpha Tubulin (Gundersen, G. G., et al. (1984). Cell. 38(3):779-89.).
ELISA Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory specifically detected nontyrosinated alpha Tubulin, and not nontyrosinated alpha Tubulin in an indirect ELISA and in a competitive ELISA (Gundersen, G. G., et al. (1984). Cell. 38(3):779-89.).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot from an independent laboratory specifically detected nontyrosinated alpha Tubulin, and not nontyrosinated alpha Tubulin in TC-7 cells in interphase (Gundersen, G. G., et al. (1984). Cell. 38(3):779-89.).

Quality
Evaluated 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, nontyrosinated in 10 µg of PCA treated NIH/3T3 cell lysate and demonstrated a loss of signal in untreated NIH/3T3 cell lysate.

Estrogen (E2) withdrawal is a core pathology mechanism for postpartum depression (PPD). Galanin (GAL), an estrogen-inducible neuropeptide has also been reported to be associated with depression. However, it still remains unclear which GAL receptors (GALRs) are involved in PPD pathologic
Distinct populations of microtubules: tyrosinated and nontyrosinated alpha tubulin are distributed differently in vivo.

Mice deficient for all ten-eleven translocation (TET) genes exhibit early gastrulation lethality. However, separating cause and effect in such embryonic failure is challenging. To isolate cell-autonomous effects of TET loss, we used temporal single-cell atlases from embryos with partial or
