  Spleen cells from immunised LOU rats were fused with cells of the Y3.Ag.1.2.3 rat myeloma cell line.
• Specificity: This antibody SM2202P recognizes the alpha subunit of Tubulin, specifically binding tyrosylated Tubulin (Tyr-Tubulin) (2). The epitope recognized by this antibody has been extensively studied and would appear to be a linear sequence requiring an aromatic residue at the C terminus, with the two adjacent amino acids being negatively charged (represented by Gly-Gly-Tyr in Tyr-Tubulin).
  The antibody has been used in epitope tagging procedures to detect proteins tagged with a C-terminal Gly-Gly-Phe epitope. These sequence requirements have been reported to result in some cross-reactivity with other proteins in certain circumstances, including E. coli rec A and oxidized Actin (5).

• Background: Tubulin is the major building block of microtubules. This intracellular cylindrical filamentous structure is present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Microtubules function as structural and mobile elements in mitosis, intracellular transport, flagellar movement and in the cytoskeleton. Tubulin is a heterodimer which consists of alpha tubulin and beta tubulin.
• Synonyms: Tubulin alpha-1B chain, Tubulin alpha-ubiquitous chain, Alpha-tubulin ubiquitous, Tubulin K-alpha-1
