Principle of the Assay: TUBbeta ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for TUBbeta. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and TUBbeta if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of TUBbeta present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for TUBbeta are added to each well to "sandwich" the TUBbeta immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain TUBbeta and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The TUBbeta concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Microtubules, key participants in processes such as mitosis and intracellular transport, are composed of heterodimers of alpha- and beta-tubulins. The protein encoded by this gene is a beta-tubulin. Defects in this gene are associated with complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations-5. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
TUBB2A: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain. Belongs to the tubulin family.

Product Notes
The Human TUBB tubb2a (Catalog #AAA726060) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA726060 ELISA Kit recognizes Human TUBB. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "beta tubulin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
