    Product Information

    Product Description

    The PathScan® Total α-Tubulin Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of α-tubulin. An α-tubulin rabbit antibody has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, α-tubulin is captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, an α-tubulin mouse detection antibody is added to detect the captured α-tubulin. An anti-mouse IgG, HRP-linked antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate (TMB) is added to develop color. The magnitude of the absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of α-tubulin.

    *Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    CST's PathScan® Total α-Tubulin Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of α-tubulin protein, as shown in Figure 1. The kit sensitivity is shown in Figure 2. Microtubule stabilizing or destabilizing agents may significantly increase or decrease the signal, respectively. 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, Monkey

    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).
