TBCE - tubulin folding cofactor E Gene
Also Known as HRD; KCS; KCS1; pac2; PEAMO
Species: Homo sapiens
About TBCE
This gene has 57 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 12.9), testis (RPKM 6.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
Cofactor E is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin intermediates in a quasi-native confirmation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactor D/beta-tubulin complex; interaction with cofactor C then causes the release of beta-tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
