Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti- β-Tubulin II (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 7B9 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment at the C-terminus of human β?tubulin II. Tubulin is the major building block of microtubules. This intracellular, cylindrical, filamentous structure is present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Tubulin is a heterodimer that consists of α-tubulin and β ?tubulin. Both subunits have a molecular mass of ~50 kDa and share considerable homology._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-β-Tubulin II antibody has been used in_x000D_ • immunoblotting immunoprecipitation_x000D_ • immunocytochemistry_x000D_ • western blotting_x000D_ • immunolabelling_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ The αβ tubulins are involved in the formation of microtubules during cell division by the formation of protofilaments.
