ε Tubulin Antibody (5F3B7): sc-517236

ε Tubulin Antibody (5F3B7) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects the epsilon Tubulin protein of human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), flow cytometry (FCM), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-epsilon Tubulin antibody (5F3B7) is available as the non-conjugated format. Epsilon Tubulin is a crucial component of the microtubule cytoskeleton, which plays a vital role in maintaining cell shape, enabling intracellular transport, and facilitating cell division. Epsilon Tubulin exists as one of five distinct forms of tubulin, alongside alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tubulin, and specifically localizes to the pericentriolar material of the centrosome. This localization proves essential for proper organization and function of microtubules during cell division, particularly in mitotic spindle formation. Epsilon Tubulin′s unique cell-cycle-specific pattern of localization allows association with one centrosome in a newly duplicated pair and later with both, highlighting importance in accurate chromosome segregation. Anti-epsilon Tubulin antibody (5F3B7) effectively detects this protein across various applications, making epsilon Tubulin antibody (5F3B7) an invaluable tool for researchers studying cytoskeleton dynamics and implications in cellular processes and diseases.
