ab18207 staining beta III Tubulin in PC12 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab18207 at 1µg/ml and ab7291 Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081 Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120 Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (polyclonal) (ab171870 0.01μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.
Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

IHC image of ab18207 staining beta III Tubulin in rat cerebellum formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6 epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab18207 1 : 2000 dilution for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Western blot - Anti-beta III Tubulin antibody - Neuronal Marker (AB18207)
Lane 1 : Wild-type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lane 2 : Beta III Tubulin knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 μg)
Lanes 1 - 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab18207 observed at 55 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.
ab18207 was shown to recognize beta III Tubulin in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in beta III Tubulin knockout cells. An additional cross-reactive band at 50 kDa was observed in wild-type and knockout cells. Due to the immunogen's homology with TUB (Tubby protein homolog, Uniprot : P50607), this lower band could correspond to the TUB protein. Please note that cross-reactivity with this protein has not been confirmed experimentally.
Wild-type and beta III Tubulin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab18207 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature

Beta-tubulin III (TUBB3) is a protein that is predominantly expressed in neurons and is a critical component of the microtubule network. It plays a vital role in maintaining the structure and function of neurons. It is a key marker for neurons and is involved in processes such as axon guidance and neuronal differentiation. Abnormal expression of TUBB3 has been associated with several neurological conditions, including congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) and cortical dysplasia, complex with other brain malformations (CDCBM), underscoring its critical role in brain development.

Biological function summary
Beta III tubulin contributes to neuronal differentiation and axonal guidance due to its incorporation into the microtubule network. As a component of the microtubule complex beta III tubulin regulates the dynamic instability of microtubules influencing their assembly and disassembly rates. Its expression in developing neurons supports growth cones as they extend axons to their targets facilitating proper neuronal circuit formation.
Pathways
Beta III tubulin actively participates in the neuronal microtubule dynamics pathway. This pathway is essential for the development and maintenance of neuronal structure and function. Beta III tubulin interacts closely with other tubulin isoforms and microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to ensure proper microtubule function. In addition the protein indirectly influences the MAPK signaling pathway which affects cellular processes such as growth and differentiation.
