microtubular adjective anatomy specializeduk /ˌmaɪ.krəʊˈtʃuː.bjə.lər/ us /ˌmaɪ.kroʊˈtuː.bjə.lɚ/ relating to or formed of microtubules(= hollow tubes that help form the shape and structure inside living cells): It is an agent that acts by disrupting the microtubular network in cells. One of the proteins involved in the cell cycle is tubulin, a component of the microtubular cytoskeleton. Microtubular function is implicated in many other cellular functions, including cell shape and division. The disruption of the microtubular transport system is assumed to play an important role in neuronal dysfunction. The study looked at what happens when preovulatory mammalian oocytes are exposed to chemicals that alter microtubular structure and function.
