TBCA: Lysates

Tubulin folding cofactor A, also known as TBCA, is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin in a quasi-native confirmation. This protein is essential for cell viability and its knockdown produces a decrease in the amount of soluble tubulin, modifications in microtubules and G1 cell cycle arrest. Recombinant human TBCA protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
