Name Tubulin alpha-8 chain
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Alpha-tubulin 8
  2. Tubulin alpha chain-like 2
Gene Name TUBA8
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in structural molecule activity
Specific Function Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain
