This gene is highly similar to TUBB2A and TUBB2C. Defects in this gene are a cause of asymmetric polymicrogyria. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules (PubMed:23001566, PubMed:28013290, PubMed:26732629). 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). Plays a critical role in proper axon guidance in both central and peripheral axon tracts (PubMed:23001566). Implicated in neuronal migration (PubMed:19465910). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19465910, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23001566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26732629, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28013290}. |Tubulin C| |Tubulin| |positive regulation of axon guidance| |embryonic brain development| |regulation of axon guidance| |Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse| |positive regulation of axonogenesis| |structural constituent of cytoskeleton| |neuron migration| |positive regulation of chemotaxis| |microtubule cytoskeleton| |positive regulation of cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |regulation of axonogenesis| |regulation of chemotaxis| |positive regulation of neuron projection development| |regulation of cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |microtubule| |GTPase activity| |positive regulation of neuron differentiation| |positive regulation of cell projection organization| |GTP binding| |embryonic organ development| |modulation of chemical synaptic transmission| |regulation of trans-synaptic signaling| |positive regulation of neurogenesis| |microtubule cytoskeleton organization| |protein heterodimerization activity| |regulation of cell morphogenesis| |regulation of neuron projection development| |positive regulation of nervous system development| |positive regulation of cellular component movement| |positive regulation of cell development| |positive regulation of locomotion| |positive regulation of response to external stimulus| |regulation of neuron differentiation| |microtubule-based process| |mitotic cell cycle| |regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |regulation of cell projection organization| |regulation of neurogenesis| |regulation of nervous system development| |regulation of cell development| |cell migration| |positive regulation of cell differentiation| |embryo development| |regulation of locomotion| |regulation of cellular component movement| |regulation of anatomical structure morphogenesis| |cell motility| |localization of cell| |regulation of response to external stimulus| |cytoskeleton organization| |positive regulation of cellular component organization| |locomotion| |cell cycle| |positive regulation of developmental process| |generation of neurons| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |neurogenesis| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |regulation of cell differentiation| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
