Product Summary for gamma Tubulin Antibody (TU-30) - BSA Free

Immunogen

C-terminal peptide of gamma-tubulin counjugated to KLH.

Epitope

The epitope was located in the amino acid sequence TRPDYI (aa439-444 in human), which is present on human gamma-tubulin 1 but not on human gamma-tubulin 2.

Reactivity Notes

Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Mouse-On-Mouse blocking reagent may be needed for IHC and ICC experiments to reduce high background signal. You can find these reagents under catalog numbers PK-2200-NB and MP-2400-NB. Please contact Technical Support if you have any questions.

Specificity

The antibody TU-30 recognizes C-terminal peptide sequence EYHAATRPDYISWGTQ (aa 434-449) of gamma-tubulin, a 48 kDa structural constituent of cytoskeleton and microtubule organizing center (MTOC).

Western Blot: gamma Tubulin Antibody (TU-30) [NB500-574] - Western blotting analysis of differential reactivity of monoclonal antibodies to gamma-tubulin with human gamma-tubulin isotypes. (A) Immunoblots of total cell lysates from SH-SY5Y cells, expressing TagRFP-tagged human gamma-tubulin 1 (gamma-Tb1) or gamma-tubulin 2 (gamma-Tb2), probed with Abs to gamma-tubulin (TU-30, TU-32), TagRFP (RFP) and GAPDH. In control samples, only secondary anti-mouse Ab was applied. (B) Immunoblots of immobilized GST-tagged human C-terminal regions (a.a. 362-451) of gamma-Tb1 or gamma-Tb2 probed with Abs to gamma-tubulin (TU-30, TU-32) and GST. In control samples, only secondary anti-mouse Ab was applied.

Background: gamma Tubulin

The gamma-tubulin (TUBG1; relative molecular weight about 48 kDa) is a minor member of tubulin family (less that 0.01% of tubulin dimer). The gamma-tubulin ring structures, however, serve to provide structural primer for initiation of microtubular nucleation and growth, thereby being crutial for microtubule-based cellular processes, above all for mitotic spindle formation. In animal cells, a center of microtubule organization is the centrosome composed of a pair of cylindrical centrioles surrounded by fibrous pericentriolar material containing gamma-tubulin. Formation of the mitotic spindle is preceded by duplication of centrosome during S phase. Before mitosis, both centrosomes increase their microtubule nucleation capacity and form two microtuble asters that are pushed apart from each other by the forces of motor proteins associated at the microtubule surface.
