An Anti-Alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594), ab195889 was used as a counterstain at 1 : 200 dilution. DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain. Confocal image showing cilia (arrows) staining in HFF-1 cells treated with starvation for 48 hours.

Biological function summary
Alpha tubulin combines with beta tubulin to form the tubulin dimer which is the basic unit of microtubule polymerization. These dimers assemble into microtubule filaments integral in numerous cellular processes. As part of the cytoskeleton network alpha tubulin facilitates roles in mitosis and meiosis providing spindle structures necessary for chromosome separation. Its participation in cell signaling pathways is noteworthy as it interacts with motor proteins like kinesins and dyneins to aid cellular activities.
Pathways
Alpha tubulin holds critical roles in microtubule-associated processes within the cytoskeleton and intracellular transport pathways. It interacts with the MAP (microtubule-associated protein) family which modulates microtubule stability and impacts cell division and trafficking. Moreover the microtubule pathway involves proteins like tau which bind to stabilize microtubules and are implicated in cellular dynamics and signaling.
