Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb (HRP Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total α-tubulin protein and does not cross-react with recombinant β-tubulin protein.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to the amino terminus of human α-tubulin protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines using α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb (HRP Conjugate).

Description

This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to the carbohydrate groups of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) via its amine groups. The HRP conjugated antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated antibody (α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125).

Background

The cytoskeleton consists of three types of cytosolic fibers: microtubules, microfilaments (actin filaments), and intermediate filaments. Globular tubulin subunits comprise the microtubule building block, with α/β-tubulin heterodimers forming the tubulin subunit common to all eukaryotic cells. γ-tubulin is required to nucleate polymerization of tubulin subunits to form microtubule polymers. Many cell movements are mediated by microtubule action, including the beating of cilia and flagella, cytoplasmic transport of membrane vesicles, chromosome alignment during meiosis/mitosis, and nerve-cell axon migration. These movements result from competitive microtubule polymerization and depolymerization or through the actions of microtubule motor proteins (1).
