Anti-TUBB6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein tubulin beta 6 class V. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 446 amino acid residues and a mass of 49.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. A member of the Tubulin protein family, TUBB6 is known to be involved with cytoskeleton organization and the cell cycle. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation. The TUBB6 gene has been associated with the disease, Facial palsy. Synonyms for this target antigen include class V beta-tubulin, tubulin beta MGC4083, tubulin beta class V, tubulin, beta 6, and tubulin beta-6 chain. TUBB6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Over 300 citations in the literature describe the use of TUBB6 antibodies in research. These antibodies are most commonly used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
