Microtubules are key components of the cell infrastructure or cytoskeleton. These polymers are important inter alia in maintaining cell structure, facilitating intracellular transportation and spindle formation in mitosis. Many proteins bind to the microtubule including motor proteins, severing proteins and proteins important for managing microtubule dynamic mechanisms.
Microtublues are organised by the MTOC’s, microtubule organising centres and areconstructed of tublin a rope like polymer.
