Tubulin, beta 3 (Tubulin beta III, Tubulin beta 3 Chain, TUBB 3, TUBB3, Neuron Specific beta III Tubulin, beta-4, MC1R, Tubulin beta 4, TUBB 4, TUBB4) (MaxLight 650)

Mab

MaxLight 650

4°C Do Not Freeze

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. Labeled with MaxLight™650.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to an epitope within the C-terminal region of human class III beta tubulin.

MaxLight™650 is a new Far-IR stable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™647, DyLight™649, Cy5™ and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (655nm); Emission (676nm); Extinction Coefficient 250, 000.

Beta III tubulin is abundant in the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS) where it is prominently expressed during fetal and postnatal development. As exemplified in cerebellar and sympathoadrenal neurogenesis, the distribution of beta III is neuron-associated, exhibiting distinct temporospatial gradients according to the regional neuroepithelia of origin. However, transient expression of this protein is also present in the subventricular zones of the CNS comprising putative neuronal- and/or glial precursor cells, as well as in Kulchitsky neuroendocrine cells of the fetal respiratory epithelium. This temporally restricted, potentially non-neuronal expression may have implications in the identification of presumptive neurons derived from embryonic stem cells. In adult tissues, the distribution of beta III is almost exclusively neuron-specific.
