Reported biological context includes: Alpha-tubulin (b-alpha-1) mRNA is expressed at a molecular weight of about 50-55,000D. The 3-prime UTR of the protein is more than 80% homologous to the UTR of the rat brain alpha-tubulin gene IL-alpha-T1.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInteraction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWestern blot (WB): compare relative abundance\/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIHC-P: commonly used to measure relative target levels or localization changes in the context of the experimental question.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIsoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout\/knockdown\/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a monoclonal antibody, binding is driven by a single epitope, which can support consistent recognition but may be sensitive to epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry (P68366) — UniProt Consortium — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P68366\/entry - NCBI Gene search (Alpha Tubulin) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=Alpha+Tubulin - Ensembl search (Alpha Tubulin) — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=Alpha+Tubulin - PubMed search (Alpha Tubulin) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=Alpha+Tubulin - Reactome pathway search (Alpha Tubulin) — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=Alpha+Tubulin --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml with 1% BSA and 0.01% sodium azide if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile 1X PBS \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53043253281133,"sku":"R30095","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_7250b6a7-a159-4fc5-8666-eacbb5c8c71d.jpg?v=1771934435","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/alpha-tubulin-antibody-tuba1a-bha17103890","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
