Function

Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. The gamma chain is found at microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) such as the spindle poles or the centrosome. Pericentriolar matrix component that regulates alpha/beta chain minus-end nucleation, centrosome duplication and spindle formation (By similarity).

Activity summary

Gamma-tubulin an important component in the microtubule nucleation process is also known as Gtub or γ-tub. It weighs approximately 48 kDa. Gamma-tubulin is a significant protein inside the centrosome where it plays a role in the formation of microtubule organizing centers. Scientists often find and express it in abundance within rapidly dividing cells both in humans and other eukaryotes. Researchers employ gamma-tubulin staining techniques to visualize its location and understand its function within the centrosome.

Biological function summary

Gamma-tubulin is part of the gamma-tubulin ring complex also known as gamma-TuRC which anchors the microtubule minus ends influencing microtubule stability and organization. This complex functions as a nucleating template for microtubules which are critical for various cell processes including intracellular transport and chromosome separation during cell division. Gamma-tubulin plays an indispensable role in maintaining the correct function of the centrosome an important cellular organelle in cell cycle progression.

Pathways

Gamma-tubulin participates in processes involving cell cycle regulation and mitotic spindle formation. These processes depend heavily on microtubule dynamics and organization. Gamma-tubulin interacts closely with proteins like centrins and pericentrin within these pathways. Such interactions ensure accurate chromosomal segregation during mitosis highlighting its importance in cellular reproduction and stability.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal gamma-tubulin expression and function relate to conditions like cancer and neurological disorders. Changes in gamma-tubulin levels can affect the centrosome's function and microtubule dynamics leading to cell cycle dysregulation and tumorigenesis. Moreover it interacts with mutated tumor suppressor proteins like p53 further contributing to cancer progression. Scientists continue to study gamma-tubulin's role in these diseases providing insights into new therapeutic targets.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Biotin Anti-gamma Tubulin antibody [EPR13872] - Centrosome Marker (ab197629)

    IHC image of gamma Tubulin staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human colon tissue*, performed on a Leica Bond system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab197629 at 1/500 dilution for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
