Alexa Fluor 647 Mouse anti-β-Tubulin(5H1)

Alexa Fluor 647

β-Tubulin

Mouse IgM, κ

Tubulin is a highly conserved protein with a molecular weight of ~50 kD.  The self-assembly of tubulin leads to microtubules, hollow cylinders that are one of the major components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton.  Microtubules play key roles in chromosome segregation in mitosis, intracellular transport, ciliary and flagellar bending, and structural support of the cytoskeleton.  There are two main classes of tubulin isoforms, α- and β-tubulin, which are usually products of separate genes.  Microtubules are made from protofilaments, strings of alternating α- and β-tubulin spaced 4 nm apart and pointing in the same direction.  Tubulin can be posttranslationally modified in several ways, including phosphorylation, acetylation, glutamylation, and detyrosination.  For example, microtubules that turn over slowly tend to be acetylated and detyrosinated. The 5H1 monoclonal antibody reacts with β-tubulin.  It does not cross-react with α-tubulin.
