Enhanced Validation-By Independent Antibodies Immunofluoresence. HeLa cells were fixed and permeabilized with methanol followed by acetone. Fixed cells were stained with 1:1,000 Anti-γ-Tubulin (AK-15) antibody produced in Rabbit (Cat. No. T3320) (A). The antibody developed using Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, Cy3 Conjugate antibody, and 1 μg/mL Monoclonal Anti-γ-Tubulin antibody produced in Mouse, Clone: GTU-88 (Cat. No. T5326) (B). The antibody was developed using Goat Anti-Mouse IgG, Cy3 Conjugate antibody. Results Two Anti-γ-Tubulin antibodies, T3320 (A) and T5326 (B) target different regions of γ-Tubulin show similar staining profiles between the two antibodies, demonstrating Independent Antibody Verification.

| Biochem/physiol Actions: | γ-Tubulin nucleates microtubule assembly throughout the mammalian cell cycle in vivo. In Aspergillus nidulans, γ-tubulin facilitates attachment of microtubules to the spindle pole body, nuclear division and microtubule assembly. Ubiquitination of γ-tubulin by breast cancer 1 protein (BRCA1) is a crucial step in the regulation of centrosome number. Overexpression ofγ-tubulin is observed in lung cancer. Tubulin γ 2 (TUBG2) plays a vital role in cell growth. Aberration in the γ-tubulin gene alters microtubule assembly. The expression levels of γ-tubulin can be considered as an important prognostic indicator for patients with astrocytomas. |

| General description: | γ-Tubulin (48 kDa) is a highly conserved protein. The microtubule cytoskeleton consists of a dynamic, highly polarized network of microtubules filaments, microtubule-associated proteins, microtubule motors, and microtubule-organizing proteins. γ-Tubulin is found as part of a large protein complex containing at least five other proteins and has a shape of a ring (γ-tubulin ring complex, γ-TuRC) that is roughly the same diameter as a microtubule. |
| General description: | γ-Tubulin, mapped on human chromosome 17q21.2, codes for a member of the tubulin family. It is localized to the microtubule organizing centres. γ -Tubulin consists of two isoforms tubulinγ 1 (TUBG1) and tubulin γ 2 (TUBG2) with 97.3% amino acid identity. In addition to these two isoforms, γ-tubulin pseudogene (TUBG1P) is also been identified on human chromosome 17. Human TUBG1 and TUBG2 transcripts are widely expressed in preimplantation embryos and the brain, respectively. γ -tubulin is a component of γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC), which has roughly the same diameter as a microtubule. |
