    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Acetyl-α-Tubulin (Lys40) (D20G3) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of α-tubulin only when acetylated at Lys40. This amino acid is not conserved in β-tubulin.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Zebrafish

    The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

    Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

    Xenopus

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic acetylpeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Lys40 of human α-tubulin.

    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).
