Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 5 (CDCBM5) [MIM:615763]: A disorder of aberrant neuronal migration and disturbed axonal guidance. Clinical features include seizures, global developmental delay, and various brain malformations such as a diffuse simplified gyral pattern with reduced volume of white matter, globular basal ganglia, thin and dysmorphic corpus callosum, mild brainstem hypoplasia with a flat pons, mild cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, and mildly enlarged posterior fossa. {ECO:0000269PubMed:24702957}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

High expression in brain, where it represents 30% of all beta-tubulins. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20191564}.
