Description

Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within microtubule-based process. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Is expressed in lens. Orthologous to human TUBA1B (tubulin alpha 1b) and TUBA4B (tubulin alpha 4b).
