Description

Description générale

γ-Tubulin (48kDa) is a ubiquitous and highly conserved protein within the microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) in eukaryotic cells. It is related to α- and β-tubulin and is a member of the tubulin superfamily of proteins. γ-Tubulin abundance is less than 1% of the level of either α- or β-tubulin. γ-Tubulin shares approximately 28-32% identity with α-tubulin from various organisms and 32-36% identity with β-tubulins. Some regions are highly conserved among α-, β- and γ-tubulins.

Spécificité

Anti-gamma-Tubulin recognizes an epitope located in the N-terminal region of gamma-tubulin (amino acids 38-53). Staining of gamma-tubulin (48 kDa) by immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with gamma-tubulin peptide (human, amino acids 38-53 with C-terminally added lysine).

Immunogène

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of human γ-tubulin (amino acids 38-53, with C-terminally added lysine) conjugated to KLH. This sequence is specific for γ-tubulin and not found in other members of the tubulin family such as α− β−, δ and ε− tubulins. This sequence is identical in mouse and rat γ-tubulin and highly conserved among species (Drosophila, Aspergillus, and yeast γ-tubulin).

Application

Anti-γ-Tubulin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in

• immunofluorescence analysis
• western blotting
• immunohistochemistry

Anti-γ-Tubulin polyclonal antibody is suitable for immunoblotting of materials such as A431 cultured cells whole extract (g-tubulin, 48 kDa), and immunocytochemical staining of cells such as cultured chicken fibroblast cells.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

γ-Tubulin binds microtubule minus ends and is responsible for mediating the link between microtubules and the centrosome. γ-Tubulin is not a member of microtubule like α- and β-tubulin. It functions as the microtubule nucleator at the microtubule organizing centre (MTOC). It binds to the β-tubulin half of the tubulin molecule, thus establishing the polarity of a microtubule, leaving the α-tubulin half exposed at the plus end.

Forme physique
