ICC staining of Alexa Fluor® 594 anti-Tubulin β 3 (TUBB3) (clone TUJ1) on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100, and blocked with 2% normal goat serum. The cells were then stained with 1 µg/ml of the primary antibody for three hours at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342. The image was captured with a 60X objective.

Tubulin is the main component of microtubules. In adults, tubulin beta 3 (TUBB3) is primarily expressed in neurons and is commonly used as a neuronal marker. It plays an important role in neuronal cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene cause congenital fibrosis of the type 3 extraocular muscles. Tubulin beta 3 (TUBB3) is also found in a wide range of tumors. Studies indicate that it is a predictive and prognostic marker in various tumors.
