Tubulin polymerization-promoting protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TPPP gene. May play a role in the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules, microtubule bundling and the stabilization of existing microtubules, thus maintaining the integrity of the microtubule network. May play a role in mitotic spindle assembly and nuclear envelope breakdown. This protein has been linked to multiple sclerosis myelin lesions and CSF abnormalities in multiple sclerosis patients. This has also been linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease.

Sequence Similarity
Belongs to the TPPP family.
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed.
Post-translational Modification
Phosphorylated by LIMK1 on serine residues; phosphorylation may alter the tubulin polymerization activity. Phosphorylation by LIMK2, but not LIMK1, regulates astral microtubule organization at early stage of mitosis. Phosphorylation by ROCK1 at Ser-32, Ser-107 and Ser-159 inhibits interaction with HDAC6, resulting in increased acetylation of tubulin, increased cell motility and entry into S-phase. Phosphorylation by CDK1 inhibits the microtubule polymerizing activity.; Degraded by the proteasome; zinc-binding inhibits degradation by the proteasome.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (ET7109-56) at 1/5,000 dilution was used in primary antibody dilution (K1803) at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human brain tissue with Rabbit anti-TPPP antibody (ET7109-56) at 1/1,000 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (ET7109-56) at 1/1,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
