Function
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers (PubMed:34996871). Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms (PubMed:34996871). Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin (PubMed:34996871).

Notes
Human TUBA1B Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (ab305095) is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify human TUBA1B in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
TUBA1B also known as tubulin alpha-1B chain is a subunit of microtubules that plays a structural role in the cellular cytoskeleton. It has a molecular mass of about 50 kDa. TUBA1B distributes widely across various tissues with elevated expression in neuronal cells. It characterizes by its involvement in the assembly and stabilization of microtubules which are essential for maintaining cell shape promoting intracellular transport and facilitating chromosome segregation during cell division.
- Biological function summary
TUBA1B contributes significantly to the formation and function of the cytoskeletal microtubule network. It functions as part of the heterodimeric complex pairing with beta-tubulin to form the building blocks of microtubules. These structures are central to diverse cellular activities such as intracellular trafficking axonal transport in neurons and the migration and division of cells. In this implicit role TUBA1B influences the dynamics and stability of microtubule polymers impacting the cell’s ability to respond to mechanical and environmental stimuli.
- Pathways
TUBA1B is integral to the mitotic spindle assembly pathway and neuronal signaling. In the context of these pathways TUBA1B's interactions with proteins like dynein and kinesin facilitate its role in intracellular transport and spindle orientation during cell division. TUBA1B also participates in neuronal development pathways where its association with tau and other microtubule-associated proteins contributes to the formation of neuronal axons and dendrites.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Alterations in TUBA1B have been linked to certain neurodevelopmental disorders and cancers such as lissencephaly and glioblastoma. In lissencephaly mutations in TUBA1B disrupt proper neuronal migration contributing to the abnormal brain development associated with the disorder. In glioblastoma TUBA1B's aberrant expression impacts microtubule dynamics aiding in cancer cell proliferation and resistance to therapies. These pathological conditions often involve interactions with other proteins including those found in the microtubule-associated protein family such as MAP2 and MAPT which further influence disease progression.
