Anti-TBA8

TUBA8 encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. TUBA8 (Tubulin Alpha 8) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TUBA8 include Cortical Dysplasia, Complex, With Other Brain Malformations 8 and Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. Among its related pathways are Development Slit-Robo signaling and Cytoskeleton remodeling Neurofilaments. Protein function: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms. Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000.
