Product Name:

Acetyl-alpha-tubulin (Lys40)

Catalog Number:

#5335

Acetylated tubulin has been implicated in ER localization and ER-mitochondrial interactions and many other functions associated with cellular homeostasis. This antibody was chosen to assess the amount of acetylated tubulin in response to a number of  cellular stresses.

Summary

The Good

Inexpensive compared to others. Clean blot. Minimal background.

The Bad

Nothing!

The Bottom Line

Recommended dilution works well and blot is clean with minimal background. Easy to multiplex with total tubulin or other antibodies.
