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
