Microtubules in the axon are GDP bound but adopt a stable GTP-like expanded state
{{output}}
Microtubules scaffold cells, supporting signaling and cargo transport. They assemble from GTP-tubulin, which hydrolyzes to GDP-tubulin during polymerization. GTP-microtubule lattices are stable; GDP lattices depolymerize rapidly. In vitro, hydrolysis triggers ... ...
