Anti-Tubulin-specific chaperone A / TBCA / CFA

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Tubulin-specific chaperone A, also called Tubulin-folding cofactor A (CFA), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBCA gene. The product of this gene is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin intermediates in a quasi-native confirmation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactor D/beta-tubulin complex, interaction with cofactor C then causes the release of beta-tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state. This gene encodes chaperonin cofactor A. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Protein function: Tubulin-folding protein, involved in the early step of the tubulin folding pathway. [The UniProt Consortium]
