How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
Where it participates (unsigned role)
Colchicine and a range of anthelmintic benzimidazoles inhibited in vitro polymerisation of tubulin purified from Ascaridia galli more than that purified from mammalian tissue, with oxfendazole and thiabendazole having virtually no effect on mammalian tubulin assembly while both inhibited nematode tubulin, and electron microscopy revealed no morphological differences between microtubules polymerised with or without drug although their length and number were reduced.
