TUBE1 tubulin epsilon 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 51175)
Symbol: TUBE1
Full name: tubulin epsilon 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: TUBE; dJ142L7.2
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the tubulin superfamily. This protein localizes to the centriolar sub-distal appendages that are associated with the older of the two centrioles after centrosome duplication. This protein plays a central role in organization of the microtubules during centriole duplication. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
