Tissuebrain, cerebral.cortex
Tissue SpecificityMajor isotype in brain, where it represents 46% of all beta-tubulins. In the brain, highest expression levels in the cerebellum, followed by putamen and white matter. Moderate levels in testis. Very low levels, if any, in other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20191564, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23424103}.
