Alpha Tubulin Molecular Weight

Specificity recognizes an epitope located at the c terminal end of the α tubulin isoform in a variety of organisms.

Alpha tubulin molecular weight. Detects a band of approximately 50 kda predicted molecular weight. Can be blocked with alpha tubulin peptide ab23537. Alpha beta heterodimers associate head to tail to form protofilaments running lengthwise along the microtubule wall with the beta tubulin subunit facing the microtubule plus end conferring a structural polarity. α tubulin antibody tu 02 is a mouse monoclonal igm kappa light chain provided at 200 µg ml.

Excitation emission nm for this alexa fluor 488 conjugated antibody. The expected molecular weight is 50 5 kda. Microtubules usually have 13 protofilaments but different protofilament numbers can be found in some organisms and specialized cells. This antibody reacts with all forms of alpha tubulin.

Raised against amino acids 1 451 representing full length α tubulin of porcine origin. Alpha tubulin is a part of a heterodimer consisting of alpha and beta tubulin subunits. Reactivity is confirmed with nih3t3 cells rat brain mouse testis human caco 2 hela3 and ptk23 cells. Use a concentration of 1 µg ml.
