ANTI-HUMAN ?-TUBULIN III (TU-20) COLORWHEEL DYE-READY MAB

General description

ColorWheelColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheelColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheelColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheelColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheelColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheelColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheelColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Target description

Tubulin beta-3 chain (UniProt: Q13509; also known as Tubulin beta-4 chain, Tubulin beta-III, beta-Tubulin 3) is encoded by the TUBB3 (also known as TUBB4) gene (Gene ID: 10381) in human. Tubulin is one of several members of a small family of globular proteins, which polymerize to form microtubules. The most common members of the tubulin family are a-tubulin and b-tubulin that assemble onto microtubules forming large polymers. Tubulin binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the b chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the a chain. GTP-binding site of b-tubulin III is localized to amino acids 140-146. b-tubulin III is a unique microtubule subunit that is expressed exclusively in neurons, but its higher expression is also observed in most cancerous tissues. Due to it is unique expression pattern it is often utilized as a marker to identify neuronal cells from other brain cells such as glia. It plays a critical role in proper axon guidance and maintenance. It undergoes phosphorylation on serine 172 by CDK1 during the cell cycle, from metaphase to telophase, but not in interphase and this phosphorylation inhibits tubulin incorporation into microtubules. Increased expression of b-tubulin III been shown to correlate with resistance to anti-microtubule agents. Mutations in TUBB3 gene have been linked to congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles that causes ocular motility disorder affecting extraocular muscles innervated by the oculomotor and/or trochlear nerves. Some mutations are also known to cause cortical dysplasia that results in aberrant neuronal migration and disturbed axonal guidance. (Ref.: Poirier, K.., et al. (2010). Hum. Mol. Gen. 19(22); 4462-4473; Tischfield, MA., et al. (2010). Cell. 140(1); 74-87; Katsetos, CD., et al. (2003). J. Child. Neurol. 18(12); 851-866).
