• Target description: Tubulin g-2 chain (UniProt: Q9NRH3; also known as Gamma-2-tubulin, Gamma tubulin) is encoded by the TUBG2 gene (Gene ID: 27175) in human. Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. In humans five isoforms of tubulin have been described and are known as -tubulin, β-tubulin, -tubulin, -tubulin, and -tubulin. The g -chain is found at microtubule organizing centers such as the spindle poles or the centrosome. It is a component of the pericentriolar matrix that regulates / β chain minus-end nucleation, centrosome duplication, and spindle formation. It is ubiquitously expressed and is abundant in both the cytosol and the nuclear compartments of cells in all mammalian tissues. By binding to the β-tubulin subunit, it establishes the polarity of a microtubule leaving the -tubulin subunit exposed at the positive end. Although g-tubulin is reported to be only about 1% of the level of either or β-tubulin, it shares approximately 28-32% identity with a-tubulin and 32-36% identity with β-tubulin in various species. g -tubulin is reported to form two complexes known as the g-tubulin small complex and the larger g-tubulin ring complex and each complex contains a several g-tubulin complex proteins (GCPs). g -1 tubulin knockout mice survive only up to the morula/blastocyst stage; however, g-2 tubulin knockout mice remain viable and fertile. In human neuroblastoma cells, g-2 tubulin is shown to be a pro-survival factor and its levels are up-regulated during neural development and oxidative stress. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
