General description

Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, and microtubules are major cytoskeletal elements. Tubulin proteins undergo a number of post-translational modifications both during individual synthesis and after complete tubule formation. Acetylation of alpha chains at Lys-40 stabilizes microtubules and affects the affinity and processivity of microtubule motors. This modification has a role in multiple cellular functions, ranging from cell motility, cell cycle progression or cell differentiation to intracellular trafficking and signaling.

Immunogen

Epitope: Near N-Terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a region near the near N-Terminus of human Tubulin acetylated at Lys40.

Application

Anti-acetyl Tubulin (Lys40) Antibody is an antibody against acetyl Tubulin (Lys40) for use in western blotting.

Toxoplasma gondii's single mitochondrion is very dynamic and undergoes morphological changes throughout the parasite's life cycle. During parasite division, the mitochondrion elongates, enters the daughter cells just prior to cytokinesis, and undergoes fission. Extensive morphological changes also occur as the

Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread protozoan parasite that causes potentially life-threatening opportunistic disease. New inhibitors of parasite replication are urgently needed, as the current antifolate treatment is also toxic to patients. Microtubules are essential cytoskeletal components that have been selectively

The single mitochondrion of Toxoplasma gondii is highly dynamic, being predominantly in a peripherally distributed lasso-shape in intracellular parasites and collapsed in extracellular parasites. The peripheral positioning of the mitochondrion is associated with apparent contacts between the mitochondrion membrane and

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) can disrupt the viability of prostate cancer (PCa) cells through modulation of the cytosolic androgen receptor (AR) chaperone protein heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). However, toxicities associated with their pleiotropic effects could contribute to the ineffectiveness
