alpha Tubulin antibody (C-Term)

Catalog No. ABIN964563

Product Details anti-alpha Tubulin Antibody

Target: alpha Tubulin (TUBA1)

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Chicken, Cow

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This alpha Tubulin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Fluorescence Microscopy (FM)

Specificity: Anti-Tubulin Loading Control Antibody was purified Protein A chromatography. This Loading Control antibody is directed against alpha tubulin.  A BLAST analysis was used to suggest antibody reactivity with alpha tubulin from a wide range of organisms, including avian, mammalian aquatic, parasitic and alga sources based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence. Cross reactivity will occur with all isoforms of alpha tubulin. Such broad reactivity makes this antibody useful as an excellent loading control.

Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus), Chicken, Sheep (Ovine)

Characteristics: Microtubules are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities ranging from mitosis and transport events to cell movement and the maintenance of cell shape. Tubulin itself is a globular protein consisting of two polypeptides (alpha and beta tubulin). Alpha and beta tubulin dimers are assembled to 13 protofilaments that form a microtubule of 22-nm diameter. Tyrosine ligase adds a C-terminal tyrosine to monomeric alpha tubulin. Assembled microtubules can again be detyrosinated by a cytoskeleton-associated carboxypeptidase. Detyrosinated alpha tubulin is referred to as Glu-tubulin. Another post-translational modification of detyrosinated alpha tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation, which is characteristic of microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle. This antibody makes an excellent loading control.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: Anti-Tubulin Loading Control Antibody was produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the C terminal end of of human alpha tubulin protein.

Clone: 17H11-F10

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Anti-Tubulin Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence microscopy and western blot.  Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at ~50 kDa in size corresponding to alpha tubulin by western blotting in most cell lysates or extracts.
