| 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 Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
High expression in brain, where it represents 30% of all beta-tubulins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20191564}.
|
| Top Pathways |
Gap junction, Pathogenic Escherichia coli infection, Phagosome
