The beta-tubulin III protein (also know as TUJ1) belongs to the tubulin superfamily and is abundant in the brain, where it is expressed almost exclusively in neurons after differentiation. There are significant post-translational modifications made to beta-tubulin III with numerous isoforms present during early post-natal neural development. Altered patterns of expression are noted in brain tumors such as medulloblastomas.
