Recognizes the alpha subunit of tubulin, specifically binding to so called Tyr-Tubulin, which is produced by post translational modification of tubulin. The epitope recognized by this antibody has been extensively studied and would appear to be a linear sequence requiring an aromatic residue at the C terminus, with the two adjacent amino acids being negatively charged (represented by Gly-Gly-Tyr in Tyr-Tubulin).The antibody has been used in epitope tagging procedures to detect proteins tagged with a C-terminal Gly-Gly-Phe epitope. These sequence requirements have been reported to result in some crossreactivity with other proteins in certain circumstances, including E. Coli rec A and oxidized actin. Species Crossreactivity: 3H3087 reacts with tubulin from yeast, avian and mammalian.
