products full name :
Unphosphorylated beta-III-Tubulin (Ser-444) Peptide
products short name :
beta-III-Tubulin (Ser-444) Peptide
products name syn :
Unphosphorylated bIII-Tubulin (Ser-444) Peptide
sequence :
Peptide Sequence: Unphosphorylated beta-III-Tubulin (Ser-444) synthetic peptide contains amino acid residues around serine 444 of human beta-III-tubulin. This sequence is not found in beta-I or beta-II-tubulin isotypes, but is well conserved in beta-III-tubulins from rat and mouse.
specificity :
The peptide is specifically recognized by unphosphorylated beta III-Tubulin (Ser-444) antibody (TP1811) in ELISA, and has been shown to block the reactivity of TP1811 in Western blot and immunocytochemistry.
form :
Blocking Peptide is supplied in 50ul phosphate-buffered saline and 0.05% sodium azide.
storage stability :
Store at -20 degree C. Stable for 1 year.
app notes :
Blocking: 1:1,000. ELISA: 50 ng/well
products description :
Microtubules (MTs) are cytoskeletal elements that play an essential role in cell division and cytoplasmic organization. MTs are dynamic polymers of alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimers. At least two populations of MTs, called dynamic and stable according to their rates of turnover, are readily distinguishable in cells. The proteins associated with MTs (MAPs) are among the bestknown factors that regulate MT dynamics and stability. In addition, a variety of different post-translational modifications may also regulate MT dynamics and stability. Phosphorylation is one of these modifications and it can occur on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues in beta-tubulin isoforms. Multiple kinases can phosphorylate Ser-444 at the C-terminus of beta-III-tubulin in vitro. Unphosphorylated Ser-444 in beta-III-tubulin is an early marker for cells of neuronal lineage, while phosphorylation of Ser-444 is upregulated after neuronal maturation and may preferentially occur in assembled MTs. By contrast, Cdk1 phosphorylation of Ser-172 in beta-tubulin occurs in mitotic cells and may impair tubulin incorporation into microtubules.
