Alpha tubulin

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

Alpha-tubulin is a core component of microtubules, which are structural elements found in the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. Alpha-tubulin, along with beta-tubulin, forms the tubulin heterodimer, the building block of microtubules. Microtubules play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell division, intracellular transport, and the maintenance of cell shape and structure.

The animals were deeply anesthetized with 3% isoflurane via a nose cone for approximately 2 to 3 min, after which L4∼L5 spinal cord was quickly removed and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −70℃ until tissue lysis. The extracted proteins were heated at 95℃ for 5 min to denature the 3D structure of the protein and separated using 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. With the help of an I-Blot transfer machine (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA), the proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes and treated for 7 min. The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline with Tween (TBST) and incubated overnight with primary antibody in TBST buffer at 4℃. The primary antibodies used were against MMP-2 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA), MMP-9 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA), TIMP-2 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotech, Dallas, TX, USA) and alpha-tubulin (1:10000, Santa Cruz Biotech, TX, USA). The next day, the membranes were washed with TBST buffer several times and incubated with secondary antibody for an hour at room temperature. The horseradish peroxidase activity was measured using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (ECL kit, Pierce, Thermoscientific, Rockford, IL, USA). The chemiluminescent signals were captured on autoradiography film.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
