Protein
Tubulin gamma chain
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. The gamma chain is found at microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) such as the spindle poles or the centrosome, suggesting that it is involved in the minus-end nucleation of microtubule assembly. TUB4 is an important spindle pole body component that organizes both cytoplasmic and nuclear microtubule arrays.
Similarity
Belongs to the tubulin family.
