Alpha-tubulin belongs to the tubulin superfamily, which is composed of six distinct families.
Along with beta-tubulins, alpha-tubulins are the major components of microtubules.
These microtubules are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities ranging from mitosis and transport events to cell movement and the maintenance of cell shape.
Alpha- and beta-tubulin dimers are assembled to 13 protofilaments that form a microtubule of 22-nm diameter.
Tyrosine ligase adds a C-terminal tyrosine to monomeric alpha-tubulin.
Assembled microtubules can again be detyrosinated by a cytoskeleton-associated carboxypeptidase.
Another post-translational modification of detyrosinated alpha-tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation, which is characteristic of microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle.
Like GAPDH and beta-Actin, this antibody makes an excellent loading control in immunoblots.
