Biolegend, 801206, HRP anti-Tubulin β 3 (TUBB3) Antibody, 100μg

Tubulin is the main component of microtubules. In adults, tubulin beta 3 (TUBB3) is primarily expressed in neurons and is commonly used as a neuronal marker. It plays an important role in neuronal cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause congenital fibrosis of the type 3 extraocular muscles. Tubulin beta 3 (TUBB3) is also found in a wide range of tumors. Studies indicate that it is a predictive and prognostic marker in various tumors.
100μg
Verified Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Antibody Type: Monoclonal
Host Species: Mouse
Immunogen: This antibody was raised against microtubules derived from rat brain.
Formulation: This antibody is provided in 50% glycerol in aqueous buffered solutions with preservatives.
Preparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with HRP under optimal conditions.
Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling: Upon receipt, the antibody solution should be stored undiluted at -20°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light.
Application: WB - Quality tested IHC-P - Verified
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.5 - 1.0 µg per ml. For immunohistochemical staining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 5.0 µg per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes: Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: flow cytometry4, immunofluorescence microscopy1-5,7, immunohistochemistry5,7, Western blotting8, and spatial biology (IBEX)9,10. This antibody is well characterized and highly reactive to neuron specific Class III ß-tubulin (ßIII). TUJ1 does not identify ß-tubulin found in glial cells. TUJ1 recognizes an epitope located within the last 15 C-terminal residues8.
