|
| 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 |
Ubiquitous. Maximal expression in breast and lung, where it represents around 10% of all beta-tubulins. Largely decreased expression in most cancerous tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20191564}.
