Product Specifications
Immunogen
This alpha Tubulin Antibody (YL1/2) was developed against full length native protein (purified) (S. cerevisiae).
Epitope
A linear sequence requiring an aromatic residue at the C terminus, with the two adjacent amino acids being negatively charged (represented by Gly-Gly-Tyr in Tyr-Tubulin).
Reactivity Notes
S. cerevisiae, S. pombe, Slime molds, Allium. Other species have not been tested. Expected to react with most eukaryotes due to sequence identity. Drosophila reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 24019759). C. elegans reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 29118344). Toxoplasma gondii reactivity reported by customer review.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: alpha Tubulin Antibody (YL1/2) [NB600-506] - HeLa cells were fixed and permeabilized for 10 minutes with -20C MeOH. The cells were incubated with alpha Tubulin Antibody [YL1/2] (NB600-506) at 1ug/ml overnight at 4C and detected with an anti-rat DyLight 488 (Green) at a 1:1000 dilution for 60 minutes. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Cells were imaged using a 100X objective and digitally deconvolved.Flow Cytometry: alpha Tubulin Antibody (YL1/2) - BSA Free [NB600-506]
Flow Cytometry: alpha Tubulin Antibody (YL1/2) [NB600-506] - An intracellular stain was performed on SH-SY5Y cells with alpha Tubulin (YL1/2) Antibody NB600-506G (blue) and a matched isotype control (orange). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and then permeabilized with 0.1% saponin. Cells were incubated in an antibody dilution of 5 ug/mL for 30 minutes at room temperature. Both antibodies were conjugated to DyLight 488.Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: alpha Tubulin Antibody (YL1/2) - BSA Free [NB600-506]

Background: alpha Tubulin
Tyrosine ligase adds a C-terminal tyrosine to monomeric alpha tubulin. Assembled microtubules can again be detyrosinated by a cytoskeleton associated carboxypeptidase. Detyrosinated alpha tubulin is referred to as Glu-tubulin. Another post-translational modification of detyrosinated alpha tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation which is characteristic for microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle.
Like GAPDH and beta-actin, alpha/beta tubulin is often used as a loading control in immunoblot applications (1). Alpha/beta tubulin is also good for counterstaining microtubules in immunofluorescence (2).
