Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
ICC: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Can be used with 4% paraformaldehyde-1% Triton X-100 and methanol-acetone.
WB: Use at a concentration of 0.5 - 1 µg/ml. This concentration is recommended using a cytosolic fraction of rat brain extract. Detects a band of approximately 50 kDa, possibly a doublet of alpha and beta tubulins.

Not tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

The epitope recognized by the antibody is localized in the C-terminal region of alpha and beta tubulins (the glutamylated motif at amino acid 445-457 of alpha tubulin).

Relevance 

The tubulin family of globular proteins has several members, the most common of which are a-tubulin and ß-tubulin; proteins which make up microtubules of the cytoskeltons of probably all eukaryotic cells.
Except in the simplest eukaryotes, tubulin (100 kDa) exists in all cells as a heterodimer of two similar but non-identical polypeptides (55 kDa each), designated alpha and beta. Within either family of alpha/beta tubulin heterodimers, individual subunits diverge from each other (both within and across species) at less than 10% of the amino acid positions. The most extreme diversity is localized to the carboxyl-terminal 15 residues.
Delta (d) and epsilon (e) tubulin have been found to localize at centrioles and may play a role in forming the mitotic spindle during mitosis, though neither is as well-studied as the a- and ß- forms.
