Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: TUBB2B
  • Official Name: tubulin beta 2B class IIb
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 347733
  • UniProt: Q9BVA1
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a beta isoform of tubulin, which binds GTP and is a major component of microtubules. 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}.
