Suspension cell: Transfer the culture medium to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Centrifuge and aspirate the supernatant. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min. 4. Place the lysate into a pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4°C for 15 min. Collect the supernatant; 5. Remove a small volume of lysate to determine the protein concentration; 6.

Then the power supply is adjusted (110 V~150 V), the Marker is observed, and the electrophoresis can be stopped when the indicator band of the predyed protein Marker where the protein is located is properly separated. (Note that the current should not be too large when electrophoresis, too large current (more than 150 mA) will cause the temperature to rise, affecting the result of running glue. If high currents cannot be avoided, an ice bath can be used to cool the bath.) Transfer membrane 1. Take out the converter, soak the clip and consumables in the pre-cooled converter; 2. Activate PVDF membrane with methanol for 1 min and rinse with transfer buffer; 3.

The protein was electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. ( 0.45 µm PVDF membrane is recommended ) Reference Table for Selecting PVDF Membrane Pore Size Specifications Recommended conditions for wet transfer: 200 mA, 120 min. ( Note that the transfer conditions can be adjusted according to the protein size. For high-molecular-weight proteins, a higher current and longer transfer time are recommended. However, ensure that the transfer tank remains at a low temperature to prevent gel melting.) Block 1. After electrotransfer, wash the film with TBST at room temperature for 5 minutes; 2. Incubate the film in the blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature; 3. Wash the film with TBST for 3 times, 5 minutes each time. Antibody incubation 1.

Specificity
Acetyl-α-Tubulin (Lys40) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of α-tubulin only when acetylated at Lys40. This amino acid is not conserved in β-tubulin.

Background
Acetyl-α-tubulin (Lys40) is a post-translationally modified form of α-tubulin characterized by the acetylation of lysine 40, located on the luminal surface of microtubules. This modification, catalyzed by α-tubulin acetyltransferase 1 (αTAT1), occurs away from the binding sites of most microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and motors, but αTAT1 itself can interact with the microtubule’s exterior via the tubulin C-termini. Acetylation of α-tubulin at Lys40, with an approximate molecular weight of 52 kDa, increases microtubule stability, making them more resistant to depolymerization, which is critical for cytoskeletal integrity during cellular processes. This modification also affects interactions with MAPs, influencing cellular functions such as intracellular transport, cell motility, and neuronal development, including the branching of cortical neurons. Acetylation at Lys40, unique among tubulin modifications, enhances microtubule stability and plays a vital role in cellular physiology, particularly in neuronal function and structure.
