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}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Tubulin| |Tubulin C| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |spindle assembly involved in female meiosis| |spindle assembly involved in meiosis| |meiotic spindle| |meiotic spindle organization| |oocyte maturation| |female meiotic nuclear division| |oocyte development| |oocyte differentiation| |oogenesis| |spindle assembly| |structural constituent of cytoskeleton| |female gamete generation| |anatomical structure maturation| |meiotic nuclear division| |spindle organization| |cell maturation| |meiotic cell cycle process| |meiotic cell cycle| |developmental maturation| |germ cell development| |nuclear division| |organelle fission| |microtubule| |GTPase activity| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |GTP binding| |microtubule cytoskeleton organization| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |microtubule-based process| |mitotic cell cycle| |gamete generation| |organelle assembly| |molecular function| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |multi-organism reproductive process| |cell cycle process| |cytoskeleton organization| |cell cycle| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |cell development| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp498|Lead acetate 2000μM R08 exp498 no dilution day6]]|-1.8| |[[:results:exp224|CB-839 10μM R05 exp224]]|1.76| |[[:results:exp230|Epigallocatechin gallate 20μM R05 exp230]]|2.01| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 1889 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 0.12 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='TUBB8 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 0.12'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
