Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms. Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin (PubMed:2207090, PubMed:6504138, PubMed:7704569).<ref>PMID:2207090</ref> <ref>PMID:6504138</ref> <ref>PMID:7704569</ref> |
