| Product Description | Mouse monoclonal antibody [TU-20] to beta III Tubulin |
| Background | The betaIII-tubulin isotype is present dominantly in cells of neuronal origin and it is one of the earliest marker of neuronal differentiation. Class III beta-tubulin, is regarded as a specific probe for the cells of neuronal origin as well as for the tumours originating from these cells. The neuron-associated class III beta-tubulin isotype is most abundant in cells of neuronal origin but was also detected in Sertoli cells of the testis and transiently in non-neuronal embryonic tissues. |
