General description

Anti-β-tubulin antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the 2-28-33 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Tubulin also known as TUBB is the major building block of microtubules. Microtubules assemble from heterodimers of α-tubulin and β-tubulin; both have a molecular weight of ~ 50 kDa and share considerable homology. For β-tubulin, five evolutionarily conserved isotypes have been identified, which are regularly utilized in the same cell types of different species.

Immunogen

Sarkosyl-resistant ribbons from Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (sea urchin) sperm axonemes.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-β-tubulin has been used:
  • in immunoblotting
  • in immunofluorescence
  • in immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Monoclonal Anti-β-tubulin specifically recognizes the two major β-tubulin isotypes and one of the minor β-tubulin isotypes of the free-living soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It also binds to Sarkosyl resistant ribbons from Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sperm axonemes, neuronal axons of the larva of Ciona intestinalis (ascidian), microtubules in root tip cells in Arabidopsis thaliana and to human, mouse, rat, monkey, bovine, dog and chicken β-tubulin. The different β-tubulin isotypes are suggested to differ from each other in their ability to polymerize into microtubules.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Rac3 is a member of Rho family small GTPases which regulate cellular signaling and cytoskeletal dynamics. The RAC3 gene abnormalities have been shown to cause neurodevelopmental disorders with structural brain anomalies, including polymicrogyria/dysgyria, callosal abnormalities, brainstem anomalies, and cerebellar dysplasia.
