Background Information
There are five tubulins in human cells: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon. Tubulins are conserved across species. They form heterodimers, which multimerize to form a microtubule filament. An alpha and beta tubulin heterodimer is the basic structural unit of microtubules. The heterodimer does not come apart once formed. The alpha and beta tubulins, which are each about 55 kDa MW, are homologous but not identical. Alpha tubulin is useful for scientists across fields as an internal control due to its high, ubiquitous expression pattern.
