Product details:
TUBA1B SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of TUBA1B protein in Tissue extracts, Tissue extracts, Cell Lysate. Quantitate  TUBA1B with 9.29 pg/ml sensitivity.SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (

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.
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.
