b-Tubulin (a.a. 168-177) Peptide
other names :
B-tubulin; Tubulin beta chain; Beta-tubulin
uniprot entry name :
TBB_PSEAM
sequence :
Peptide Sequence: beta-III-Tubulin (a.a. 168-177) synthetic peptide contains amino acid residues from human bIII-tubulin. This sequence is identical to similar regions in beta-I, beta-II, and beta-III-tubulin isotypes, and is well conserved in tubulins from most eukaryotic species.
specificity :
The peptide is specifically recognized by beta -Tubulin (a.a. 168-177) antibody (TP1781) in ELISA, and has been shown to block the reactivity of TP1781 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 best-known 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 mpair tubulin incorporation into microtubules.

uniprot summary :
Function: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain. Subunit structure: Dimer of alpha and beta chains. Subcellular location: Cytoplasm cytoskeleton. Tissue specificity: Brain. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the tubulin family.
