Anti-γ-Tubulin (LL-17) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.
일반 설명
γ-Tubulin is a widely expressed and highly conserved protein within the microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) or centrosome in eukaryotic cells. It is a member of the tubulin superfamily of proteins, which includes α and β tubulin and the newly discovered centrosomal-associated proteins, δ and ε tubulin. γ-Tubulin abundance is less than 1% of the level of either α or β tubulin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
γ-Tubulin has an essential role in microtubule nucleation by the centrosomes. γ-Tubulin does not polymerize with α-tubulin/β-tubulin, but instead it is localized to the centrosome and to the cytoplasm. γ-Tubulin is found as part of a large protein complex containing at least five other proteins and has a shape of a ring (γ-tubulin ring complex, γ-TuRC) that is roughly the same diameter as a microtubule. γ-Tubulin binds the microtubule minus ends and is responsible for mediating the link between microtubules and the centrosome.
