General description

Tubulins, major components of the cellular cytoskeleton, form microtubules that are critical for cellular structure, migration, cell division and intracellular trafficking. There are at least three types of tubulins, alpha, beta and gamma. Each has a molecular weight of approximately 55 kDa. Microtubules are large structures (300 angstrom diameter) composed of alternating alpha and beta subunits. Compounds that block microtuble formation, such as Taxol and the vinca alkaloids, inhibit cell division and are effective anti-cancer agents.

Specificity

Recognizes α-Tubulin, clone DM1A, Mr 50-60 kDa.

Immunogen

Epitope: The epitopehas been mapped to amino acids 426-450 (AALEKDYEEVGVDSV-EGEGEEEGEE).
Purified human brain α-Tubulin. The epitope recognized by this antibody has been mapped to amino acids 426-450 (AALEKDYEEVGVDSV-EGEGEEEGEE).

Application

Anti-α-Tubulin Antibody, clone DM1A, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate is an antibody against α-Tubulin for use in FC, IC, IF & WB.
Western Blot Analysis:
2 µg/mL of a previous lot detected α-Tubulin in RIPA lysates from A431 cells.

Immunocytochemistry:
2 µg/mL of a previous lot showed positive immunostaining for α-Tubulin in HeLa cells.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Flow Cytometry.

Flow Cytometry:
0.2 μg of this lot detected α-Tubulin in fixed and permeabilized rat L6, Jurkat, and A431 cells.

The remodeling of the microtubule cytoskeleton underlies dynamic cellular processes, such as mitosis, ciliogenesis, and neuronal morphogenesis. An important class of microtubule remodelers comprises the severases-spastin, katanin, and fidgetin-which cut microtubules into shorter fragments. While severing activity might be expected
