Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulins. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents belong to the tubulin superfamily, which is composed of six distinct families. Genes from the alpha, beta and gamma tubulin families are found in all eukaryotes. The alpha and beta tubulins represent the major components of microtubules, while gamma tubulin plays a critical role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. TUBa1A encodes alpha tubulin and is highly similar to mouse and rat Tuba1 gene. Northern blotting studies have shown that the gene expression is predominantly found in morphologically differentiated neurologic cells. This gene is one of three alpha-tubulin genes in a cluster on chromosome 12q.

Rat Tubby protein homolog (TUB) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TUB in samples. An antibody specific for TUB has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTUB present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TUB is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TUB bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
