    Product Information

    Product Description

    The rapid protocol (RP) PathScan® RP Acetyl-α-Tubulin (Lys40) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of α-tubulin protein acetylated at Lys40 in a reduced assay time of 1.5 hours. Incubation of cell lysates and detection antibody on the coated microwell plate forms a sandwich with acetyl-α-tubulin (Lys40) in a single step. The plate is then extensively washed and TMB reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of absorbance for the developed color is proportional to the quantity of acetyl-α-tubulin (Lys40).

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    The PathScan® RP Acetyl-α-Tubulin (Lys40) Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of acetyl-α-tubulin (Lys40). The kit sensitivity is shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Background

    The cytoskeleton consists of three types of cytosolic fibers: microtubules, microfilaments (actin filaments), and intermediate filaments. Globular tubulin subunits comprise the microtubule building block, with α/β-tubulin heterodimers forming the tubulin subunit common to all eukaryotic cells. γ-tubulin is required to nucleate polymerization of tubulin subunits to form microtubule polymers. Many cell movements are mediated by microtubule action, including the beating of cilia and flagella, cytoplasmic transport of membrane vesicles, chromosome alignment during meiosis/mitosis, and nerve-cell axon migration. These movements result from competitive microtubule polymerization and depolymerization or through the actions of microtubule motor proteins (1).

    The Elongator complex catalytic subunit (Elp3) acetylates α-tubulin at Lys40 while the histone deacetylase HDAC6 functions as a tubulin deacetylase. This post-transcriptional modification may be required for dynamic cell shape remodeling, cell motility, tubulin stability, and terminal branching of cortical neurons (2,3).
