UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q2HJB8 (Q2HJB8)
Gene Name:
TUBA8
Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine)
Function: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers (PubMed:2207090, PubMed:6504138, PubMed:7704569). Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms. Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin (PubMed:2207090, PubMed:6504138, PubMed:7704569)
