Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton, found throughout the cytoplasm. These tubular polymers of tubulin can grow as long as 50 micrometres, with an average length of 25 µm, and are highly dynamic. The outer diameter of a microtubule is about 24 nm while the inner diameter is about 12 nm. They are found in eukaryotic cells and are form...

<cell biology> Cytoplasmic tubule, 25nm outside diameter with a 5nm thick wall. Made of tubulin heterodimers packed in a three start helix (or of 13 protofilaments looked at another way) and associated with various other proteins (MAPs, dynein, kinesin). Microtubules of the ciliary axoneme are more permanent than cytoplasmic and spindle micro...
