    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 555 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and tested in-house for direct flow cytometric and immunofluorescent analysis in human cells and immunofluorescent analysis in mouse tissue. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Acetyl-α-Tubulin (Lys40) (D20G3) XP® Rabbit mAb #5335.

    Product Usage Information

    Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) 1:50

    Storage

    Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Acetyl-α-Tubulin (Lys40) (D20G3) XP® Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 555 Conjugate) 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

    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).
