== Function Summary ==
  * **<color #00a2e8>Entrez Summary</color>**:  The protein encoded by this gene represents the primary beta-tubulin subunit of oocytes and the early embryo. Defects in this gene, which is primate-specific, are a cause of oocyte maturation defect 2 and infertility. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]. 
  * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**:  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). TUBB8 has a key role in meiotic spindle assembly and oocyte maturation (PubMed:26789871). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26789871}.
