Microtubules are essential parts in eukaryotic cell structures, transportation, and mitosis. It consists mainly of 2 soluble protein subunits, alpha and beta tubulin. Beta tubulin binds to alpha tubulin to form tubulin heterodimer which is post-translationally modified (1). The tubulin dimer complex binds to GTP and assembles onto the positive ends of microtubules. After incorporation into the microtubules, bound GTP is hydrolyzed by beta tubulin. The stability of the dimer in the microtubules is depended on presence of beta tubulin, where dimer with GTP bound beta-tubulin is stable to microtubule incorporation (2). For both type of tubulin, the carboxy-terminal tail is pos-translationally modified to regulate associated protein binding at microtubule surface (3). A mutation on alpha tubulin has been linked to abnormal neuronal migration and neurodevelopmental disorders in human (4). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:50,000 Immunohistochemistry: 1:250-1:500 Immunocytochemistry: 1:250-1:500 Flow Cytometry: 1:20 Immunoprecipitation: 1:50 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Manufactured incorporating RabMAb(R) technology under Epitomics US patents, No 5,675,063 and 7,429,487, owned by Abcam.
