Microtubules are rigid, hollow rods that help determine cell shape and play roles in a variety of dynamic processes, such as organelle transport and mitosis. These roles require microtubules to be highly dynamic. Microtubules are composed of heterodimeric tubulin subunits that assemble into a polar
