TBCA, Recombinant, Human, aa1-108 (Tubulin folding cofactor A)

Tubulin folding cofactor A, also known as TBCA, 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 in a quasi-native confirmation. This protein is essential for cell viability and its knockdown produces a decrease in the amount of soluble tubulin, modifications in microtubules and G1 cell cycle arrest. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to human TBCA expressed in E. coli.
