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 alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin that assemble on to microtubules forming large polymers. Tubulin binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. GTP-binding site of beta-tubulin III is localized to amino acids 140-146. Beta-III tubulin 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. Beta-tubulin III plays a critical role in proper axon guidance and maintenance. Beta-tubulin III 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 beta-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. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
