Summary: Enables alpha-tubulin binding activity and beta-tubulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrostatic pressure; response to cocaine; and response to desipramine. Located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Biomarker of glaucoma and mental depression.

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.
