| microtubule |
Tiny hollow tube made of the tubulin protein found in almost all cells with a nucleus. Microtubules help to define the shape of a cell by forming a scaffolding that is part of the cytoskeleton.

| microtubule |
A hollow tube, 25 nm in diameter, that is formed by the lateral association of 13 protofilaments, which are themselves polymers of - and -tubulin subunits.

| microtubule |
Straight, hollow cylinders of a diameter of about 25 nm composed of long chains of the protein tubulin. They serve to give a cell shape, aid in cellular motility and are very important in cell division. Microtubules are dynamic and grow and shrink depending on the needs of the cell.

| microtubule |
Long, stiff, cylindrical intracellular structure, 20 nanometers in diameter, composed of the protein tubulin; one of the major components of the cytoskeleton, used by eucaryotic cells to regulate their shape and control their movements.
