Anti-α-Tubulin from chicken

Tubulin α 1A (TUBA1A) is a member of α-tubulin gene family. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 12q13.12. Tubulin α 1A is a vital structural subunit of microtubules that are temporarily expressed in almost all post-mitotic neurons during neuronal development. The encoded protein structure contains a core of two β-sheets enclosed by α-helices. TUBA1A is characterized with an amino-terminal domain having guanine nucleotide-binding region, an intermediate domain and a carboxy-terminal domain.

Tubulin antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human Tubulin.

Anti-α-tubulin from chicken has been used for Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Gene mutation of tubulin α-1A (TUBA1A) is observed in perisylvian asymmetrical polymicrogyria, polymicrogyria-like cortical dysplasia, and microlissencephaly in fetal cases. Alteration in the expression of the gene impairs neural migration and causes lissencephaly (LIS).
