Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] - BSA and Azide free (AB216650)
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab52866).
Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human kidney staining alpha Tubulin with ab52866 at a concentration of 0.01 µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5 for 32mins.
ab52866 anti- alpha Tubulin [EP1332Y] was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

AJAP1 co-localizes with microtubules in HUVECs
The association of AJAP1 with microtubules in HUVECs is lost upon microtubule destruction. Treatment with 12.5 µM nocodazole for 24 h shows destruction of the microtubule network and loss of AJAP1 tubular localization. For a negative control, HUVECs are treated with DMSO for 24 h. Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (cyan). Microscope : Zeiss LSM 780; objective lens : 63×/1.40 oil; scale bar : 25 µm.
Incubated overnight at 4°C with ab52866.

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.
