Abstract excerpt
Across different cell types and tissues, microtubules are assembled from highly conserved dimers of α- and β-tubulin. Despite their highly similar structures, microtubules have functional heterogeneity, generated either by the expression of different tubulin genes, encoding distinct isotypes, or by posttranslational modifications of tubulin. This genetically encoded and posttranslational generated heterogeneity...
