Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and microtubule nucleator activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic sister chromatid segregation. Located in cytoplasmic microtubule; pericentriolar material; and spindle microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; heart; nervous system; respiratory system; and tooth. Orthologous to human TUBG2 (tubulin gamma 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and fertile with normal weight and no significant histological abnormalities in the brain or other tissues. [provided by MGI curators] |
