Beta-III Tubulin, also known as tubulin beta-4, is regarded as a neuron-specific marker. The expression of beta-III Tubulin has been suggested to be one of the earliest markers to signal commitment in primitive neuroepithelium. This antibody reacts with mammalian and chicken neuron-specific beta-III Tubulin but not with other beta-Tubulin isotypes in glial cells (1, 2). This antibody stains neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, axons, and axonal terminations (3) and is commonly used in the identification of newly committed neurons.
