The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab18207 0.01μg/1x106) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081) at 1/4000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. 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.

This antibody gave a positive signal in U-87MG cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 20 min used under the same conditions.

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.

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

Immunogen

The exact immunogen used to generate this antibody is proprietary information.

Specificity

The immunogen used for this product shares 75% homology with TUB (Tubby protein homolog, Uniprot: P50607). In western blot, we observe a specific band at ~55kDa which is not seen in KO cell lines. An additional band below this band of interest is seen at ~50kDa in both the WT and KO cells which could correspond to the protein TUB. Please note that cross-reactivity with this protein has not been confirmed experimentally. TUB is localized notably in high concentrations in the nucleoli of brain neurons with lower protein levels in the cytoplasm. Please, therefore, be aware that ICC experiments may need to be optimised. Abcam welcomes customer feedback and would appreciate any comments regarding this product and the data presented above. As an alternative antibody, we would recommend our recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody ab52623 which has been shown to specific in both WB and ICC using KO cells.

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.

Beta III Tubulin also known as beta3 tubulin beta tubulin III and bIII tubulin is a microtubule component that plays integral mechanical roles in cells. With a mass of approximately 55 kDa this protein is part of the tubulin family. You find beta III tubulin predominantly in neurons within the central and peripheral nervous systems. However it sometimes appears in other tissues under certain conditions like stress or disease.
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.

Beta III tubulin has strong links to certain neurological conditions and cancers. In neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease abnormal regulation of beta III tubulin contributes to impaired neuronal functions. Additionally it is associated with cancers like glioblastoma where upregulated expression is used as a marker for diagnosis and prognosis. Through its involvement in these diseases beta III tubulin indirectly affects interactions with proteins involved in cellular stress responses and neurodegeneration such as tau protein.

Target data

Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers (PubMed : 34996871). Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms (PubMed : 34996871). Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin (PubMed : 34996871). TUBB3 plays a critical role in proper axon guidance and maintenance (PubMed : 20074521). Binding of NTN1/Netrin-1 to its receptor UNC5C might cause dissociation of UNC5C from polymerized TUBB3 in microtubules and thereby lead to increased microtubule dynamics and axon repulsion (PubMed : 28483977). Plays a role in dorsal root ganglion axon projection towards the spinal cord (PubMed : 28483977).
