MT and MT-binding proteins. α- and β-Tubulin polymer with the plus end serving as a site for addition of more monomers and also for depolymerization. Plus-end binding proteins bind to MTs and along with other stabilizing proteins help stabilize the polymer. Destabilizing proteins aid in depolymerization. Motor proteins transport cargo along the polymer.
