Any of the long, generally straight, hollow tubes of internal diameter 12-15 nm and external diameter 24 nm found in a wide variety of eukaryotic cells; each consists (usually) of 13 protofilaments of polymeric tubulin, staggered in such a manner that the tubulin monomers are arranged in a helical pattern on the microtubular surface, and with the alpha/beta axes of the tubulin subunits parallel to the long axis of the tubule; exist in equilibrium with pool of tubulin monomers and can be rapidly assembled or disassembled in response to physiological stimuli; concerned with force generation, e.g. in the spindle.

  • Gene expression profiling induced by overexpression and silencing of Ankrd2

    score: 5050 | Mus musculus Mus musculus | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Ankrd2 is a member of the Muscle Ankyrin Repeat Protein family (MARPs). We produced and examined both morphological and functional features of myocytes stable overexpressing or silencing the Ankrd2 protein.
