TOOB-u-lin Protein that makes up microtubules. 99
the key protein building block of microtubules (see above)
a family of globular cytoskeletal proteins that polymerize to form microtubules.
The major protein component of the microtubules of eukaryotic cells.
A protein subunit of microtubules; it is a dimer composed of two globular polypeptides, alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin.
A protein molecule that polymerizes to form the backbone of microtubules. tympanic membrane. The eardrum, which transfers sound pressure waves to the bones of the middle ear.
A Tubulin is one of several members of a small family of globular proteins. The most common members of the tubulin family are α-tubulin and β-tubulin, the proteins which makes up microtubules. Each has a molecular weight of approximately 55 kiloDaltons.
