Anti-Alpha Tubulin, clone DM1A

0.5mg/ml with 1% BSA and 0.01% sodium azide if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile 1XPBS. Alpha-tubulin (b-alpha-1) mRNA is expressed at a molecular weight of about 50-55,000D. The 3-prime UTR of the protein is more than 80% homologous to the UTR of the rat brain alpha-tubulin gene IL-alpha-T1. Alpha tubulin is a predicted 451-amino acid protein that is 100% identical to the rat homolog and differs by only 2 and 3 amino acids from the pig and chicken homologs, respectively. Protein function: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.
