General description

γ-Tubulin (48kDa) is a ubiquitous and highly conserved protein within the microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) in eukaryotic cells. It is related to α- and β-tubulin and is a member of the tubulin superfamily of proteins. γ-Tubulin abundance is less than 1% of the level of either α- or β-tubulin. γ-Tubulin shares approximately 28-32% identity with α-tubulin from various organisms and 32-36% identity with β-tubulins. Some regions are highly conserved among α-, β- and γ-tubulins.

Specificity

Anti-gamma-Tubulin recognizes an epitope located in the N-terminal region of gamma-tubulin (amino acids 38-53). Staining of gamma-tubulin (48 kDa) by immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with gamma-tubulin peptide (human, amino acids 38-53 with C-terminally added lysine).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of human γ-tubulin (amino acids 38-53, with C-terminally added lysine) conjugated to KLH. This sequence is specific for γ-tubulin and not found in other members of the tubulin family such as α− β−, δ and ε− tubulins. This sequence is identical in mouse and rat γ-tubulin and highly conserved among species (Drosophila, Aspergillus, and yeast γ-tubulin).

Application

Anti-γ-Tubulin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in
  • immunofluorescence analysis
  • western blotting
  • immunohistochemistry

Anti-γ-Tubulin polyclonal antibody is suitable for immunoblotting of materials such as A431 cultured cells whole extract (g-tubulin, 48 kDa), and immunocytochemical staining of cells such as cultured chicken fibroblast cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

γ-Tubulin binds microtubule minus ends and is responsible for mediating the link between microtubules and the centrosome. γ-Tubulin is not a member of microtubule like α- and β-tubulin. It functions as the microtubule nucleator at the microtubule organizing centre (MTOC). It binds to the β-tubulin half of the tubulin molecule, thus establishing the polarity of a microtubule, leaving the α-tubulin half exposed at the plus end.

Physical form

Antibodies to Tubulins, including Centrosome-Associated ε-Tubulin

Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton are composed of a heterodimer of α- and β-tubulin. In addition to α-and β-tubulin, several other tubulins have been identified, bringing the number of distinct tubulin classes to seven.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
