Tubulin is a heterodimeric complex composed of alpha and beta subunits. Just like histones, tubulin can undergo post-translational modification, to affect cellular function. Novus Biologicals offers a large database of modified Tubulin antibody products.

MECP2 antibodies are used in DNA methylation studies as well as research into Rett syndrome, a progressive neurological disorder caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene. Now, a new study has been published by the laboratory where the Rett Syndrome gene was discovered, citing MECP2 as a critical factor in a number of other neurological conditions by its interaction with GABA.

Forming the major protein component of chromatin, histones are essential to the structure and organization of chromosomes, forming the nucleosome around which DNA is packaged and wrapped.
