Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-beta IV Tubulin antibody [ONS.1A6] (AB11315)

IHC image of beta IV Tubulin staining in Human normal skin formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. 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 ab11315, 1μg/ml, 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.

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.

Supplementary information

Beta IV Tubulin also known as TUBB4 is an important component of the microtubule structure within cells. It has a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa. This protein is a critical part of the cytoskeleton and is expressed in a variety of tissues including neuronal tissues. Beta IV Tubulin plays a role in forming dynamic structures that aid in maintaining cell shape facilitating intracellular transport and enabling cell division. Researchers often use beta tubulin staining techniques to observe microtubules in cells which is important for understanding cellular processes.
Biological function summary

Beta IV Tubulin contributes significantly to the stability and function of microtubule networks. It is a member of the tubulin family and often forms tubulin heterodimers which are building blocks of microtubules. These microtubules are essential for many cellular activities such as mitosis and transport of organelles. Beta IV Tubulin is integral to the microtubule-based cellular processes and its functions are critical for neuronal development and function because it is a part of the complex cytoskeletal framework.

Pathways

Beta IV Tubulin is deeply involved in cellular processes such as the MAP kinase pathway and cell cycle regulation. These pathways are pivotal in transmitting signals that regulate cellular processes including growth and differentiation. The protein interacts with other tubulin isotypes and motor proteins like dynein and kinesin contributing to intracellular transport and chromosomal segregation during cell division. These interactions highlight its importance in maintaining proper cellular responses and functions.

Mutations or dysregulation of beta IV Tubulin are associated with neurological conditions like dystonia and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. These disorders underline the importance of beta IV Tubulin in neuronal health and development. The protein’s interaction with other tubulins and motor proteins also relates it to neurodegenerative diseases where cytoskeletal integrity and function are often compromised. Understanding these interactions helps unravel the pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases and can guide therapeutic strategies.

Target data

Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms. Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin.
