Description: Antibody that specifically recognizes a polyglutamylated motif on the C-terminal end of alpha-tubulin that was demonstrated to inhibit sea urchin sperm mobility in vitro. Created and screened from a panel of monoclonal antibodies by Gagnon et al. (Urology Research Laboratory, Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University, Montreal, Canada). Also reacts with dinoflagellates (Oxyrrhis marina).
