Anti-Acetylated Alpha Tubulin (K40) (recombinant antibody), clone RM318

Antibody in PBS with 50% Glycerol, 1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide. The acetylated residue of alpha tubulin is K40, which is catalyzed by alpha tubulin acetyl-transferase (alpha-TAT) in humans. The acetylation of K40 on alpha tubulin is a hallmark of stable microtubules. [Wiki] Protein function: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. [The UniProt Consortium]
