Anti-TBB1 (Tubulin beta-1 chain, TUBB1)

Microtubules are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes, including mitosis, morphogenesis, platelet formation, and mobility of cilia and flagella. Circulating platelets carry a single marginal microtubule coil that is wound in 8 to 12 turns and is responsible for platelet shape. TUBB1 is the major beta-tubulin expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes and is required for optimal platelet assembly. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1,000 , Western Blot: 1:100-1:500, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
