Tubulin molecules
Microtubules are made of protein subunits called tubulin. These tubulin subunits polymerize to form long, hollow tubular structures that are essential for various cellular processes such as cell division, cell shape maintenance, and intracellular transport.
They are made up of Tubulin.
Microtubules are made up of repeating units called tubulin. Tubulin is a protein that assembles into a structure that forms the walls of the microtubule, providing structure and stability. The tubulin units polymerize to form the long, hollow structures of microtubules essential for various cellular processes like cell division and intracellular transport.
Microtubules are polymers of tubulin. Microfilaments are polymers of actin.
Fine
The molecular weight of tubulin is 54-55 kiloDaltons.
Tubulin proteins that are arranged in bundles, 7 columns around a three column core. A microtubular elongation of these columns. Not easily broken into subunits as in the case of the exoskeleton.
Glutamine is the amino acid that is involved in tubulin form and function.
Tubulin is to microtubules as actin is to microfilaments. Both tubulin and actin are protein subunits that polymerize to form structural components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. While tubulin assembles into hollow tubes called microtubules, actin polymerizes to form thin filaments known as microfilaments, which play crucial roles in cell shape, motility, and division.
tubulin
Cilia are made of microtubules that are composed of tubulin protein subunits. These hair-like structures protrude from the surface of cells and are involved in various functions such as movement, signaling, and sensing the environment.
