General Information
Term microtubule plus-end ID (Ontology) GO:0035371 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The growing (plus) end of a microtubule. In vitro, microtubules polymerize more quickly at the plus end than at the minus end. In vivo, microtubule growth occurs only at the plus end, and the plus end switches between periods of growth and shortening, a behavior known as dynamic instability.[ PubMed:12700769 PubMed:16643273 ]
Also Known As "growing microtubule plus end" ; "microtubule plus end"
