Product Description

62204 detects alpha tubulin in human, mouse, rat, bovine, porcine, chicken, amphibian, gerbil and guinea pig samples. 62204 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescent applications. The 62204 immunogen is native chick brain microtubules. This antibody recognizes an epitope within amino acids 426-450 of alpha tubulin. Alpha Tubulin is a part of a heterodimer consisting of alpha and beta tubulin subunits. The alpha and beta tubulins, which are each about 55 kDa MW, are homologous but not identical. Alpha-beta tubulin heterodimer is the basic building block of microtubules, and this intracellular cylindrical filamentous structure is present in almost eukaryotic cells. Microtubules serve as structural supports and lines of transport within the cell, as well as serving a key role in mitosis. Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulins. The alpha and beta tubulins represent the major components of microtubules, while gamma tubulin plays a critical role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. There are multiple alpha and beta tubulin genes, which are highly conser
