Gene ID: 51175, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TUBE; dJ142L7.2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the tubulin superfamily. This protein localizes to the centriolar sub-distal appendages that are associated with the older of the two centrioles after centrosome duplication. This protein plays a central role in organization of the microtubules during centriole duplication. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
