Tubulin deacetylation

Tubulin deacetylation is a biological process where enzymes remove acetyl groups from tubulin proteins, which make up microtubules in cells. Microtubules are like tiny scaffolding and transportation tracks inside cells, vital for shape, movement, and dividing. When tubulin is deacetylated, it can affect the stability and flexibility of these structures, influencing how well cells move and function. This process is important in various cellular activities and can be involved in health and disease, including cancer and neurodegeneration.
