Beta-tubulin (TUBB) serves as a fundamental building block of the cytoskeleton, forming heterodimers with alpha-tubulin to assemble microtubules essential for cell division, intracellular transport, and maintaining cellular architecture. As a ubiquitously expressed protein, TUBB has become an indispensable loading control in protein expression studies while also serving as a valuable marker for investigating cytoskeletal dynamics, mitotic processes, and the mechanisms underlying microtubule-targeting chemotherapeutics.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 16E11D4, offers the reproducibility that demanding research requires. Generated against recombinant human TUBB protein and produced through recombinant technology, it delivers sequence-defined consistency between lots, eliminating the variability that can complicate longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations.
Extensive validation demonstrates this antibody's versatility across multiple experimental platforms. Western blot analysis confirms robust detection across a diverse panel of human cell lines including A431, SH-SY5Y, U251, 293T, HepG2, K562, and MCF7, as well as the mouse NIH/3T3 line, supporting cross-species reactivity for comparative studies. The observed band at approximately 55 kDa runs slightly higher than the predicted 49 kDa molecular weight, a shift commonly attributed to post-translational modifications including tubulin-specific acetylation and polyglutamylation. Immunohistochemistry validation in paraffin-embedded human tonsil, brain, and breast cancer tissues demonstrates reliable performance in tissue-based applications, while immunofluorescence staining in HeLa cells and flow cytometry analysis in K562 cells extend its utility to single-cell resolution studies.
Whether establishing loading controls, investigating cytoskeletal organization, or exploring signal transduction pathways, this antibody provides the technical foundation for reliable, reproducible results.
