TUBA8 - tubulin alpha 8 Gene
Also Known as CDCBM8; TUBAL2; MACTHC2
Species: Homo sapiens
About TUBA8
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 153 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in heart (RPKM 36.8), testis (RPKM 14.8) and 3 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
