Tuba8 - tubulin, alpha 8 Gene

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 53857

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the tubulin family of cytoskeletal proteins that form the integral component of microtubules. This gene is preferentially expressed in heart, skeletal muscle and testis. The encoded protein may play a role in liver tumorigenesis in mice. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
