Background：TUBB3, the class III β tubulin or Tuj1, is selectively expressed in testis and neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system. It has been widely used as a marker for neurons. Aberrant expression of TUBB3 has also been found in various tumors of non-neural origin and can be used as a biomarker for cancer aggressiveness and a marker for the tendency to respond poorly to chemotherapy. This antibody is specific to TUBB3 but not cross-react with other tubulin isoforms.
