Microtubule Network (MT network)

Target
MT network
Molecular classification
Cytoskeletal protein, Polymer of tubulin, Structural protein
01

Overview

The microtubule network is a dynamic component of the cellular cytoskeleton, composed of α-tubulin and β-tubulin heterodimers that polymerize into hollow cylindrical structures. It plays essential roles in structural support, intracellular transport, cell division, and cell movement. The network's dynamic instability and treadmilling properties are crucial for its function. It is a validated therapeutic target, particularly in cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
