Summary: Enables GTP binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and nervous system development. Located in cytoplasmic microtubule. Is active in several cellular components, including condensed chromosome; neuromuscular junction; and sperm flagellum. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hemolymphoid system gland; lateral plate mesoderm; musculature; and testis. Used to study congenital nervous system abnormality and lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly; lissencephaly 3; microcephaly; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human TUBA1A (tubulin alpha 1a).

Study shows that loss of Tubb2a or Tubb2b does not impair survival but does lead to relatively mild cortical malformation phenotypes. In contrast, loss of Tuba1a is perinatal lethal and leads to significant forebrain dysmorphology. The ability of the mouse to survive in the absence of some tubulin genes known to cause disease in humans suggests future intervention strategies for these devastating tubulinopathy diseases.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
