negative regulation of microtubule depolymerization

Term ID
GO:0007026
Synonyms
  • down regulation of microtubule depolymerization
  • down-regulation of microtubule depolymerization
  • downregulation of microtubule depolymerization
  • inhibition of microtubule depolymerization
  • microtubule rescue
  • microtubule stabilization
  • negative regulation of microtubule catastrophe
  • negative regulation of microtubule disassembly
Definition
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule depolymerization; prevention of depolymerization of a microtubule can result from binding by 'capping' at the plus end (e.g. by interaction with another cellular protein of structure) or by exposing microtubules to a stabilizing drug such as taxol. 0815316194
