General description

Tubulin is one of the main components of the cytoskeleton. It is a heterodimeric structure consisting of interlocking alpha and beta chains. Like other cytoskeleton proteins, tubulin undergoes dynamic changes depending on the cellular context, which are mediated by binding and release of GDP/GTP. Tubulin proteins may also undergo post-translational modifications, and are essential to cellular transport and mitotic processes.

Target description

~60 kDa observed. Uniprot describes a molecular weight at ~46 kDA, but can be higher due to post-translational modification. This protein has been observed at ~55 kDa in some cell lysates (Saugstad, J. A., et al. (2002). J Neurochem. 80(6):980-988.).
