TUBB基因编码的功能和结构描述

这个基因编码一个β-微管蛋白。这种蛋白质与α-微管蛋白形成二聚体，并作为微管的结构成分。该基因突变导致皮质发育不良，复杂，伴有其他脑畸形6。选择性剪接导致多个剪接变体。这个基因在1、6、7、8、9和13号染色体上有多个假基因。

This gene encodes a beta tubulin protein. This protein forms a dimer with alpha tubulin and acts as a structural component of microtubules. Mutations in this gene cause cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 6. Alternative splicing results in multiple splice variants. There are multiple pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 13.
