p150 [Glued] was identified as a polypeptide associated with cytoplasmic dynein,the minus-end-directed microtubule-based motor protein.
p150 [Glued] is also a member of the oligomeric dynactin complex. Dynactin mediates dynein-driven vesicle motility, as well as lower
eukaryote nuclear transport. p150 [Glued] bears significant homology to the product of the Glued gene in Drosophila. It has been shown in
vitro to be a required activator of dynein-mediated transport along microtubules. The p150 [Glued] component of the dynactin complex binds
to microtubules and the actin-like protein Centractin (Arp-1), another member of the dynactin complex. In the developing rat, p150 [Glued] is
expressed at high levels in neural tissue. Microtubule binding assays with selected constructs of p150 [Glued] indicate that amino acids
39-150 are required for microtubule association.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
