Protein
Tubulin gamma chain
Organism
Emericella nidulans (strain FGSC A4 / ATCC 38163 / CBS 112.46 / NRRL 194 / M139)
Function
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. The gamma chain is found at microtubule organizing centers (MTOC) such as the spindle pole or the centrosome, suggesting that it is involved in the minus-end nucleation of microtubule assembly. Interacts physically with beta-tubulin and is involved in microtubule function.
Similarity
Belongs to the tubulin family.
