TTL - tubulin tyrosine ligase Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About TTL
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants) and 176 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 13.3), lung (RPKM 7.4) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
TTL is a cytosolic enzyme involved in the posttranslational modification of alpha-tubulin (see MIM 602529). Alpha-tubulin within assembled microtubules is detyrosinated over time at the C terminus. After microtubule disassembly, TTL restores the tyrosine residues and consequently participates in a cycle of tubulin detyrosination and tyrosination (Erck et al., 2003 [PubMed 14571137]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
