TUBB8 - tubulin beta 8 class VIII Gene
Also Known as OOMD; OOMD2; bA631M21.2
Species: Homo sapiens
About TUBB8
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 20 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene represents the primary beta-tubulin subunit of oocytes and the early embryo. Defects in this gene, which is primate-specific, are a cause of oocyte maturation defect 2 and infertility. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
