The 32 pages that link to Microtubule, each with the reason it gives.

• FlagellumNarrower topic: Eukaryotic flagella are built around microtubule arrays.

• ActinCompared with: Microtubules provide a contrasting track system, with different structure and motor proteins.

• CiliaRelated: Microtubules form the structural core that gives motile cilia their organized architecture.

• AxonRelated: Microtubules provide tracks for long-distance transport through axons.

• CytoskeletonBroader topic: Microtubules form the cell’s long-range tracks and division apparatus.

• AlbendazoleRelated: Disrupting parasite microtubules impairs nutrient uptake and other vital cellular functions.

• TubulinBroader topic: Microtubules are the polymers tubulin subunits assemble into.

• PaclitaxelNarrower topic: Paclitaxel binds these structures and suppresses their normal remodeling.

• CytokinesisNarrower topic: Microtubules position the division machinery and guide plant cell-plate formation.

• DyneinRelated: Dynein walks along these polarized tracks, usually toward their minus ends.

• Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathyRelated: Taxanes and vinca alkaloids interfere with microtubules, disrupting transport inside long nerve fibers.

• ChoanoflagellateRelated: Microtubules provide the internal framework for the beating flagellum.

• KinesinRelated: Its polarity gives many kinesins a preferred direction of travel.

• Mitotic spindleNarrower topic: Microtubules form the spindle’s load-bearing and force-generating fibers.

• Intermediate filamentCompared with: Microtubules are larger, polarized tracks, unlike the nonpolar intermediate-filament cables.

• Primary ciliumNarrower topic: Microtubules make the axoneme and provide tracks for ciliary transport.

• YewRelated: Paclitaxel derived from yew prevents microtubules from disassembling during cell division.

• Actin filamentCompared with: Microtubules are stiffer and wider, with different motors and cellular roles.

• CentrosomeNarrower topic: The centrosome organizes these polymers into cellular arrays.

• ColchicineRelated: Colchicine disrupts these structures by inhibiting tubulin polymerization.

• Guanosine triphosphateRelated: Tubulin-bound GTP is hydrolyzed as microtubules assemble and undergo dynamic instability.

• Tau proteinRelated: Tau binds along neuronal microtubules and helps regulate their stability.

• RadiolariaRelated: Microtubules support the stiff axopodia radiating from many radiolarian cells.

• Amoeboid movementRelated: Microtubules help coordinate polarity and signaling in migrating cells.

• MebendazoleRelated: Disrupting parasite microtubules impairs glucose uptake and other essential functions.

• CentrioleNarrower topic: Nine microtubule triplets form the characteristic wall of a centriole.

• CiliateRelated: Repeated microtubule arrangements give ciliate cilia their structure.

• Taxus brevifoliaRelated: Paclitaxel binds microtubules and suppresses their normal disassembly.

• Schizosaccharomyces pombeRelated: Microtubule arrangements in fission yeast link cell polarity to division-site positioning.

• VincristineRelated: Vincristine disrupts the microtubules needed for dividing cells to separate chromosomes.

• LissencephalyRelated: Microtubule-related gene defects can impair neuronal movement during cortical development.

• ColchicumRelated: Colchicine binds tubulin and prevents microtubule formation.
