Anti-TUBA8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein tubulin alpha 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 449 amino acid residues and a mass of 50.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is found to be highly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle and testis. A member of the Tubulin protein family, TUBA8 is known to be involved with cytoskeleton organization and the cell cycle. Post-translational modifications have been described, including protein cleavage. Synonyms for this target antigen include MACTHC2, TUBAL2, tubulin alpha-8 chain, tubulin alpha 8 trucated form, tubulin alpha chain-like 2, and CDCBM8. TUBA8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. Over 680 citations in the literature describe the use of TUBA8 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
